Re: The Q & A on Michael Curtiz with Alan K. Rode on Dec. 12th

How long did it take you to research, write and edit this incredibly detailed biography? Given the fact that Curtiz died in 1962, were there many people you could turn to for first hand ac...

Re: The Q & A with Alexandra Dean on BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY
Hi Alexandra! Thanks for visiting this weekend. I am looking forward to seeing your film, but wondered if you could describe a little about Hedy Lamarr's education. Did she have a strong interest in math & science as a schoolgirl? Also, the circumstances of Lamarr's first marriage to Austrian ar...

Re: The Q & A on Las Vegas 1956-1973 with Lynn Zook
