This intimate portrait by his former personal assistant and confidante reveals the man behind the legendary filmmaker—for the first time. Stanley Kubrick, the director of a string of timeless movies from Lolita and Dr. Strangelove to A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, and others, has always been depicted by the media as the Howard Hughes of filmmakers, a weird artist obsessed with his work and privacy to the point of madness. But who was he really? Emilio D'Alessandro lets us see. A former Formula Ford driver who was a minicab chauffeur in London during the Swinging Sixties, he took a job driving a giant phallus through the city that became his introduction to the director. Honest, reliable, and ready to take on any task, Emilio found his way into Kubrick's neurotic, obsessive heart. He became his personal assistant, his right-hand man and confidant, working for him from A Clockwork Orange until Kubrick's death in 1999. Emilio was the silent guy in the room when the script for The Shining was discussed. He still has the coat Jack Nicholson used in the movie. He was an extra on the set of Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick's last movie. He knew all the actors and producers Kubrick worked with; he observed firsthand Kubrick's working methods down to the smallest detail. Making no claim of expertise in cinematography but with plenty of anecdotes, he offers a completely fresh perspective on the artist and a warm, affecting portrait of a generous, kind, caring man who was a perfectionist in work and life.
Saraya is not your ordinary prostitute. She prefers to think of herself as a working girl. Someone who has worked her way up on the world. She just happens to do it on her back, maybe on her knees. The Magic Man was where it all began, but if her first love, Elias, has anything to say about it... it will be her last. This short story contains swearing, sex and adult situations. Recommended for mature (18+) audiences.
Prior to achieving television stardom in 1951 as America¿s favorite redhead, Lucille Ball was a glamorous movie star, achieving a modicum of success in films throughout the 1940s. She was under contract to MGM, the most prestigious studio in Hollywood during the 1940s and it was then that a paper doll book starring her as a glamour girl was first published. Originally published in 1944, the Lucille Ball Paper Doll book has been republished as an officially authorized edition. Two charming dolls capture the star¿s personality (and hint at the beloved TV character that would emerge years later). Inside are eight pages of vintage 1940¿s fashions of the time, an entire wardrobe of broad-shouldered and smartly tailored daytime and eveningwear, including two costumes from the 1943 hit, ¿Du Barry Was a Lady.¿ This lavishly created paper doll book is a must for the legions of Lucy collectors and will also be treasured by movie buffs as well as those who appreciate vintage fashion history.
