Synopsis

This book is about quotes and the headliners who made them. Author John Frederick met, interacted, or worked with some of the most famous, fascinating figures of the day, and was privileged to elicit (or overhear) comments that may give readers a totally different view of such people as John Wayne. While we were preparing for what would be his last film, the author asked Duke what had been the single most difficult thing to accept or overcome in his fifty year career. "Keeping your innocence and enthusiasm in the face of terrible rejection," he answered. This probably does not match up with most people's view of John Wayne. Almost every story in this book is fresh and new, never seen before. There are three such John Wayne stories in StarCatcher. There are dozens of other quotes and names that will hold your attention. Each quote is followed by a story that makes StarCatcher a captivating, easy read.
