Synopsis

If you'd like to know what was going on during the 1990s in the lives and careers of people such as Sandra Bullock, Jerry Lewis, Charles Schulz, John Denver and more, this is the book for you. As a newspaper feature writer, I interviewed hundreds of celebrities over the course of a 15-year span as a reporter. "Cultural Icons of the 20th Century: Conversations with John Denver, Charles Schulz, Sandra Bullock, Jerry Lewis and more" represents a sampling of 21 actors, musicians, cartoonists and authors I talked with and wrote about over the years. In it you'll learn how John Denver was inspired to write "Annie's Song," why Jack Klugman and Tony Randall reunited Oscar and Felix on stage 20 years after "The Odd Couple" left TV, how Sandra Bullock approached the starring role in the "Working Girl" television show that helped launch her career, why Charles Schulz gave Snoopy a love for pizza, root beer and chocolate chip cookies and much more. Or, maybe you're wondering about that old rumor that Lauren Bacall had a fling with President Harry Truman? Bacall tells all in her chapter, which kicks off the book. Shirley Jones, Mom Partridge on "The Partridge Family" and star of "The Music Man," "Oklahoma" and "Elmer Gantry," for which she won an Oscar, has some very interesting things to say about her leading men in Chapter 9. In Chapter 10, Madeline Kahn reveals how she chose the song her character sang after getting frisky with the Monster in "Young Frankenstein" and discusses the important role Mel Brooks played in her development as an actress. Here's who else you can read about -- and they do open up! Cultural Icons of the 20th Century: Table of Contents 1. Lauren Bacall, actress 2. Ray Bradbury, author 3. Sandra Bullock, actress 4.
