If the Other Guy Isn't Jack Nicholson, I've Got the Part : Hollywood Tales of Big Breaks, Bad Luck and Box Office Magic
320pp. Quarter bound in black paper over grey paper-covered boards, silver titles on spine. Bumped spine ends. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Dust jacket sun fade at top edge, mirrors book damage, price unclipped. 8vo. Fascinating insight into how major film parts were won (or lost) as the author examines the complex chemistry of movie stardom - a potent mix of greed and cunning, ego and casting, dedication and just plain dumb luck.
