Description:
John Gregory Dunne, one of the rare screenwriters to also maintain a distinguished career as a novelist and journalist, now bites the hand that feeds him -- deeply and hilariously -- in this sardonically funny expose of life on the Hollywood food chain.
Expand description
In 1988 Dunne and his wife, Joan Didion, were approached to write an "uplifting" screenplay based on the short and notoriously un-uplifting life of TV anchorwoman Jessica Savitch. Eight years later one of their scripts was made into a movie called Up Close and Personal, starring Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer. As Dunne recounts the meetings and rewrites, the angry faxes and studio purges, he illuminates the culture of the industry with unparalleled sagacity and wit.
