Gary Cooper at HIGH NOON

Gary Cooper at HIGH NOON

Michael B Druxman

Independently Published
2019
pokkari
Gary Cooper was a Hollywood icon whose career spanned over thirty-five years. Many of his films, including MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN, SERGEANT YORK, THE PRIDE OF THE YANKEES and HIGH NOON, are still revered by audiences and critics well over half a century after his death. On screen, "Coop" may have been America's staunch "hero," but in private life, he was anything but that. A man of indecision, he enjoyed torrid romances with the likes of Clara Bow, Lupe Velez and Ingrid Bergman, as well as a three-year relationship with actress Patricia Neal, which almost brought an end to his marriage. Michael B. Druxman's GARY COOPER AT HIGH NOON finds the 50-year-old actor at a critical point in his life. Dealing with health issues and no longer a major box-office draw, he has accepted the role in HIGH NOON at a fraction of his usual fee, and now, as he sits in his dressing room, he ponders his deteriorating bond with Patricia Neal, as well as what to do about his friend, Carl Foreman, the screenwriter of HIGH NOON who is about to be blacklisted. Gary Cooper has reached a point in his life where he must make a life-changing choice.

pokkari
A one-woman play in two-acts about the life and times of Carole Lombard. Acting Edition]"LOMBARD is an engrossing one-woman show...Druxman's writing is crisp and informative, his direction spry." -- Glendale News-Press.This study of Hollywood's favorite "screwball" comedienne begins on the eve of her death. Following a successful war bonds tour, she awaits word in an Indianapolis hotel room to see if she's been successful in securing plane reservations for a flight back to Los Angeles. She's anxious to get home, because she suspects that her husband, Clark Gable, is cheating on her.Drawing liberally upon her legendary sailor's vocabulary, Ms. Lombard talks about her tragic affair with singer Russ Columbo, ex-husband William Powell, as well as George Raft, Gary Cooper, Joseph P. Kennedy and, of course, David O. Selznick and her ill-fated attempt to secure the role of Scarlett O'Hara in GONE WITH THE WIND.Michael B. Druxman's LOMBARD is not a depressing play of approaching doom. It is a warm, funny story of a woman -- the highest paid film actress of her day -- who was a "fighter," both in her career and personal life.

pokkari
A one-person play about the life and times of Spencer Tracy. Acting edition]"No pussyfooting around, no beating around George Bush, TRACY is great." -- Las Virgines News Enterprise"Michael B. Druxman's piece is by no means the nasty expose that has come to be the fashion in so many recent Hollywood biographies. He shows Tracy reacting with human frailties...but it's mostly an admiring look at the man." -- Los Angeles Daily NewsHe's been called "the best film actor Hollywood has ever known". His marvelous performances in classic movies like CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS, ADAM'S RIB, BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK and INHERIT THE WIND endowed him with a tough, solid humorous image -- one that was totally at odds with his own personality.The play opens in 1967 when Tracy was in poor health and struggling to complete what would be his final film, GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER. Alone in his rented guest cottage, he reflects with great guilt on his days as a rough street kid in Milwaukee; his troubled marriage; his drinking problem; the birth of his deaf son; and his romances with Loretta Young and Katharine Hepburn.TRACY is a vivid, often witty, portrait.

Gable

2011
pokkari
A one-person play about the life and times of Clark Gable. Acting Edition]"...we actually forget our surroundings and believe we're listening to Gable's life story." -- News Enterprise.For nearly thirty years, Clark Gable was "the King" of Hollywood. Female fans swooned, male admirers were made envious of his unaffected masculinity. Through jaunty, self-assured performances in films like IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, SAN FRANCISCO, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY and GONE WITH THE WIND, he carved a niche for himself as the quintessential American movie star.The play is set on the Nevada location of Gable's last picture, THE MISFITS. While waiting for his perennially tardy co-star Marilyn Monroe to arrive on the set, Gable reminisces about his Horatio Alger life and career, touching on his stormy relationship with his oil wildcatter father, his marriages to older women, his numerous affairs and his great love, wife Carole Lombard, who died in a 1942 plane crash...a tragedy from which Gable never recovered."Insightful", "funny", and "racy" are words that audiences have used to describe Michael B. Druxman's GABLE.

pokkari
ORSON WELLES is a one-person play in two acts about the life and times of Orson Welles. Acting Edition]Some say that Orson Welles was a genius, but he always denied that. He did give us CITIZEN KANE, considered by most critics to be the best film ever made, but after that, his career took one long downward plunge.The play finds Welles trying to find the financing for one of his film projects. It's a difficult task, since most of the Hollywood community considers him to be a "screwball".Pondering his life with his "other self," he tells us about his alcoholic father, his lonely years as a "gifted child," his rise as the "boy genius" of Broadway and the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast that panicked America and made his name a household word.But "genius" can be self-destructive -- as was the case with Welles. Time after time, with a new post-KANE success within his grasp, he would knowingly make the wrong move, thereby destroying everything he'd built.Containing wry stories about William Randolph Hearst, Columbia Pictures' Harry Cohn, and Rita Hayworth, Michael B. Druxman's ORSON WELLES is the "boy genius" at his best.

The star of WINGS, the first film to win the Best Picture Oscar, Clara Bow's unhappy life, in many ways, paralleled that of her successor, Marilyn Monroe.A longtime victim of insomnia, Ms. Bow lies awake on the morning of her estranged husband's funeral and painfully remembers the mentally ill mother who once tried to kill her; her career as the ultimate "flapper"; her many nervous breakdowns; and affairs with the likes of Gary Cooper, Gilbert Roland, director Victor Fleming, and, as is said, the USC football team.Michael B. Druxman's CLARA BOW is a tragi-comic tale about another of Hollywood's victims.

A One-Person Play About the Life and Times of Al Jolson (Acting Edition)."Play relies on good writing and research by Druxman...." - Daily Variety"Michael B. Druxman has written a fine play which captures the many moods of Jolson." - The Longboat Observer"An exciting, withering portrait...." - Ft. Lauderdale Sun-SentinelAl Jolson was the "world's greatest entertainer". He made immortal such songs as "Swanee" and "April Showers", and starred in THE JAZZ SINGER, the movies' first talkie. He was also one of the most disliked men in show business.Revolving around the making of THE JOLSON STORY in 1946, the play looks in on "Jolie" at the lowest point of his career. He's a wealthy show business "has been," unwanted on the set of his own film biography. As he sits in his dressing room, he recalls the early years: an unloving father, a feud with his older brother, and his four marriages, including one to Ruby Keeler. We see that Jolson was ruthless, both in his career and personal life.JOLSON is the story of a great performer, a "lovable s.o.b." and the most sensational comeback in the history of show business.

Chevalier

pokkari
Maurice Chevalier was the quintessential Frenchman. He introduced the world to such memorable songs as "Louise", "Mimi", "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me", and, from the Academy Award-winning film, Gigi, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls."Privately, the man was not anything like his happy-go-lucky public persona. Insecure and dour, the only "true" loves in his life were his mother, who died in the 1930s, and the vast international audiences that adored him.Michael B. Druxman's play is set in 1963, when the star's failing health makes his ability to perform in the future questionable. Reminiscing backstage in his dressing room, he talks about his days of glory in the French music halls, his early Hollywood movies, romantic encounters with Marlene Dietrich and other well-known personalities, as well as the more unnerving times, such as his experiences in France and Germany during WW2 when he was falsely accused of being a Nazi collaborator.CHEVALIER is an affectionate, revealing, song-filled portrait of the man that America once called "the French Al Jolson."
