Download or read book Woman in the Water written by Dorinda Clifton and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Writing. Memoir. Dorinda Clifton grew up in an old-time Hollywood family. Her father, Elmer Clifton, was a star in D.W. Griffith's epic films, Birth of a Nation and Intolerance. Dorinda had featured roles in musical theatre--The Three Musketeers, The Song of Norway, The Waltz King--and in films, working with Fred Astaire, Busby Berkeley, Gene Loring, Doris Day, and Charles Chaplin. Dorinda tells her sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic story with insight and wit--the ups and downs of her father's career, her mother's obliviousness, the whirlwind of the 60s and 70s: a fascinating life--a Hollywood life, a countercultural life. But more than that, it's a very well-written book, with great vividness of image, sharpness of language, and subtlety of structure.

Download or read book The Man Who Heard Voices written by Michael Bamberger and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-07-20 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A behind-the-scenes look at the groundbreaking filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan In his relatively young career, M. Night Shyamalan has achieved phenomenal commercial and critical success. His films The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village have grossed over $1.5 billion and reinvented the thriller genre. Because Shyamalan has worked outside of the Hollywood system, however, his filmmaking habits and personality have remained largely unknown. But reporter Michael Bamberger obtained unprecedented access to Shyamalan during the tumultuous production of his film Lady in the Water, and in The Man Who Heard Voices exposes the struggles and triumphs of this modern-day Hitchcock at work. From revising the screenplay to shooting on location and evaluating the crucial initial test screening, The Man Who Heard Voices tracks all stages in the life of Shyamalan’s film. Bamberger delves into Shyamalan’s relationship with the actors and the studio (he moved from Disney to Warner Bros. for this film) while also profiling various players on set. The result is a fascinating insider portrait of creative genius—and the real-life story behind a Hollywood thriller.
