Hollywood Boozers, Brawlers and Hard-Luck Cases
In the Golden Era of moviemaking, motion picture studios "owned" Hollywood from the beat cops on up, meaning that the wild misadventures of top-earning movie stars were regularly swept out of the public eye. But no such effort was expended on behalf of minor stars, and their shenanigans became tabloid gold in newspapers across America, damaging careers, reputations and lives. This book presents 15 life stories of Golden Age Hollywood from the sordid to the sad, from battles with the bottle to nightclub brawls, hard-luck childhoods, and even murder. Each write-up includes biographical details, much of which has gone unseen for decades, and filmographies.

A poignant memoir about cultural differences told by an international rights veteran in the book publishing industry. Traveling from the Silicon Valley through the college towns of Berkeley and Stanford, Loving at a Distance is a touching memoir that describes a European bibliophile’s experiences in the high-tech sectors of California. Living on two different continents is always a big challenge for a family. In a pandemic, however, that challenge becomes almost insurmountable. An aging German grandmother, Petra Hardt finds that her regular journeys across the Atlantic to visit her children and grandchildren in California aren’t really helping her understand the Californian way of life and work. With self-irony and laconism, she details the connections and confusions between generations, exploring how different lifestyles and attitudes have affected her relationships. Her relatable experience of trying to bond with loved ones across distance is one shared by millions of other families around the world. The personal impressions and observations are complemented by flashbacks to the author’s career in the international book trade. Why were the business trips to Beijing, Beirut, and Kolkata so easy to manage, while living in California is so hard? Showing us the world through Hardt’s grandmotherly eyes, Loving at a Distance is a tender and lively memoir about different ways of living and working in the age of globalism.
