by Roland Jaccard (Editor), Louise Brooks (Editor)

Kenneth Anger once described Louise Brooks as "one of the loveliest visions ever to grace a screen", and his description should be taken as gospel. Louise was a shimmering beauty, but she was more than that: she was an opinionated, intelligent, thoughtful human being who knew that Hollywood breeds crap and who believed in film as art. . .positions she ultimately couldn't reconcile.

Who couldn't love Lulu?

Louise Brooks is one of the most stunning presences to ever grace the screen. She had inimitable beauty and uncanny movement. Langlois was justified in saying, "There is no Garbo. There is no Dietrich. There is only Brooks" It is impossible to watch her and not be taken by so fluid an actress.
Yet there is still more to this woman. She was a brilliant writer. An even better writer than actress. The style is clipped, almost curt, with a real sense of place. Louise Brooks was a woman with a long memory, a fierce independent streak, and a poison pen.
A cult has grown up around her, and shows its fruits in this anthology. Two of her essays are included which talk about her technique as well as her origins. The other essays are mostly French, being that she became synonymous with her character "LouLou" (Pandora's Box release title in France). It's fairly easy to believe that she inspired such poetry and fevered evaluations her eroticism. The works collected discuss her charisma, innate intelligence, how she compares against the real LouLou. The reader will even be treated to how she inspired not one, but two, comic strips.
Overall, this collection deserves to be read. Louise Brooks is still a fringe figure. Her acting and writing do not deserve to be so. Peruse this collection to discover what it was like to come in on films during their most early and exciting years. All this from a woman who could have quite literally become the most popular actress in the world, but gave it all up to return to dance and literature. Typical LouLou-- always leaving them wanting more.

I made the mistake of reading Roseanne Barr's second book "My Lives" before reading this one. However, it made me stick to my belief that Roseanne Barr and Roseanne Arnold are two very different people. Roseanne Barr (who wrote this book) mentions nothing of what an awful marriage she had with "Roseanne" crewmember Bill Pentland until her second book, which discusses how wonderful her second husband Tom Arnold was. Ironically, she divorced Tom Arnold that same year for domestic violence. The Roseanne Barr that wrote "Roseanne: My Life as a Woman" basically talks about her journey from a Jewish girl in Salt Lake City to stand up comedy. She doesn't deeply go into her problems on the set of the 1988 hit sitcom "Roseanne", but this book still may be worth your time. Keep in mind that when this book was written, she had not yet begun to recall her so-called memories of being molested, and she was still part of the Barr family.

It was seeing "King Kong" as a young boy that made Peter Jackson decide to become a filmmaker. Now, in 2005, he will fulfill another one of his ambitions with the release of "King Kong", his own personal homage to the film that inspired him. Made with the same meticulous attention to detail and consummate on-screen storytelling that hallmarked all three "Lord of the Rings" films, "King Kong" will recreate all the tragic grandeur and epic scale of the original while emphasising the themes of conservation versus exploitation of nature that give the story a peculiarly contemporary resonance. Jackson will employ the latest technology to bring this timeless tale to cinematic life, and his "Kong" promises to be a unique and breathtaking creation. Following every step of the process, this book is the perfect on-set illustrated record of how "King Kong" was made. Starring Jack Black, Naomi Watts, Adrian Brody and Andy Serkis - who will bring to his portrayal of Kong the same extraordinary talent he brought to Gollum - "King Kong" is scheduled for worldwide release in December 2005.

For anyone that loves the show, this book is a great way to delve into the history and details that make the Teutels who they are...vulgar yet charismatic, tough yet endearing. It always seems as though you never get to see enough of the bikes they build, but with this book, you see every minute detail complete with a "how they did it" approach. I love the Teutels and enjoyed learning more about their personal histories and pet peeves. It makes watching their show even more interesting.

Off-camera insights about the show’s personalities.

A backstage perspective of the show with revealing interviews and candid photos.

New details about the show’s amazing theme-bikes.

All of the drama—the blowups and the triumphs that make American Chopper so fascinating.

Background history of choppers.

A detailed tour of Orange County Choppers, the setting of the show.

Carter, who has co-written several autobiographies of country musicians (e.g., Rhinestone Cowboy), collaborated with Nancy Jones, wife of singer George Jones for the last 15 years, in this collection of 16 short memoirs by women who've married country music stars. Based on tape recorded interviews conducted by Jones or Carter, these pieces chart the turmoil of marriage as played out in the glare of billboard-topping success. Although a gossipy tone prevails and the writing oozes mawkish sentimentality?"nobody had more problems. But love prevailed, and the marriage survived. And it will survive forever," says Janine (Ronnie) Dunn?fans will delight in the details of the courtships and conflicts that many of these couples have overcome. Several, including Rozene (Charley) Pride, Sharon (Johnny) Paycheck and Jones herself, describe their husbands' drug and alcohol abuse. Others, such as Denise (Alan) Jackson, express bruised feelings arising from recurrent rumors of infidelity that spring up when their husbands are on the road. In contrast, Kim (Glen) Campbell and Gregg (Jeff) Foxworthy describe marriages that are substance-free and rooted in their family's strong religious faith.

From Library Journal
Jones, who worked with Carter on her husband's autobiography (I Lived To Tell It All, LJ 4/1/96), knows what it means to be the wife of a country music star. As a country music journalist, Carter associates with many of the top male performers and regularly meets fans who want to know about their wives. Of all the books on country music, this is the first to focus mainly on the wives of the stars. Jones and Carter provide candid profiles of the wives of Garth Brooks, Kenny Rogers, Alan Jackson, and Charley Ward, among others, with an interesting twist at the end in a profile of Wynonna Judd: a star, a Nashville wife, and a mother. This book will satisfy the curiosity of avid fans
