Almost fifty years in the making! This is the definitive interview book with John Milius, the provocateur who has etched -- no, make that blasted -- a name for himself with such films as "Dillinger," "Big Wednesday," "Red Dawn," "Flight of the Intruder" and written, among other breakthroughs, "Apocalypse Now." John is bigger than any film he ever made, and these covers barely contain his bravura personality. He and I have been friends since 1973 and the intimacy, cheek, and wit (from him) of this encounter are the result.

The first and only biography of the talented, prolific, cantankerous, and brilliant speculative fiction writer ("A Boy and His Dog," "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream," "Star Trek: City on the Edge of Forever."). |
For almost half a century, celebrated ventriloquist and entertainer Shari Lewis (1933–1998) delighted generations of children and adults with the help of her trusted sock puppet sidekick, Lamb Chop. For decades, the beloved pair were synonymous with children's television, educating and entrancing their young audience with their symbiotic personalities and their proclivity for song, dance, and the joy of silliness. But as iconic as their television personas are, relatively little inside knowledge has been revealed about Lewis herself and the life-changing moments that led her to the entertainment industry, and perhaps most importantly, to Lamb Chop. This book both answers questions and celebrates this incredible woman...and her little friend Lamb Chop.
