Close-up. by Gruen, John.(CARDINAL)142304;
TABLE OF CONTENTS -- Movies -- Federico Fellini -- Alain Resnais -- Joseph Losey -- Ruby Keeler, Busby Berkeley -- Vivian Leigh, Simone Signoret -- Mario Montez -- Candice Bergen -- Bette Davis -- Judy Garland -- Theater -- Shelley Winters -- Samuel Beckett -- Arnold Weinstein -- Arthur Miller -- Betty Comden, Adolph Green -- Barbara Harris -- George S. Kaufman -- Ruth Ford -- Tennessee Williams -- Lauren Bacall -- Rip Torn -- Stella Adler -- Art -- Jackson Pollack -- Joan Miro -- Richarrd Lindner -- Larry Rivers -- Alice Neel -- Robert Rauschenberg -- Leon Kroll -- Jim Dine -- Charles Addams, Tomi Ungerer -- Music -- Marc Blitzstein -- Elisabeth Schwarzkopf -- Francis Poulenc -- Ned Rorem -- Leonard Bernstein -- Virgil Thompson.These are some forty interviews with the famous in movies, theater, art and music and Mr. Gruen has indeed made a diversified selection ranging from King Fellini creating his Juliet of the Spirits to underground movie darling Mario Montez burbling away as Marilyn Monroe in a bubble bath. You'll discover that Candice Bergen plans to retire at twenty-five, Bette Davis plans to go on forever, Judy Garland has financial problems, Barbara Harris improvises interviews, George S. Kaufman had a huge assortment of mistresses, Robert Rauschenberg is painting in the dark, Charles Addams is a nice guy, and Leonard Bernstein is puzzled by his critics. There are candid postscripts to almost every piece and the author isn't afraid to be cheeky (he hated Alain Resnais ... was almost sued by Kaufman's daughter). Close-up--intimate and interesting (from Kirkus Reviews).
