Informationen zum Autor Peter Biskind is the author of four previous books. Currently a contributor to Vanity Fair , he was formerly the executive editor of Premiere and has written for numerous publications. He lives in Columbia County, New York. Klappentext Here is Hollywood over the last three decades - the superfreaks, lowlifes, charlatans, and the occasional geniuses who have left their bite marks on American culture, as refracted through the trajectory of Peter Biskind's career. Biskind began as a radical journalist and film critic. Now he can legitimately describe himself - as he does in the autobiographical introduction to this book - as a 'recovering celebrity journalist'. At the heart of the book are the likes of Martin Scorsese, Robert Redford, Terrence Malick, Sue Mengers, and über-producer Don Simpson, all of whom Biskind portrays in great Dickensian detail, charting how they have had a simultaneously strangulating and liberating effect on the industry. Zusammenfassung A collection that gives the low-down on Hollywood in the last 30 years, from the author of 'Easy Riders', 'Raging Bulls' and 'Down and Dirty Pictures'.
