Your backstage pass to the Oscars, the Grammys, and Hollwood's biggest blockbuster movies.
We all cherish our moments of escape through films, music, books and theatre. Whether it's the thrill of a blockbuster movie, the enchantment of a concert or the drama of a stage play, entertainment fuels our imaginations and offers much-needed respite from the stress of daily life. Then there's the other side of the curtain: the people who create the content that amuses and enlightens us. Ever wondered what it's like to step into the land of Oz, Middle-earth or Hogwarts? Or to live the supposedly glamorous life of a Hollywood star or a chart-topping musician?
For Entertainment Only takes you on an inspirational journey behind the scenes of the world of entertainment.
In this captivating memoir, you'll discover:
- The secrets behind the scenes of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and The Hobbit.
- The backstage rituals of The Grateful Dead before their electrifying performances.
- The birth of punk rock in 1970s NYC.
- Brad Pitt's humble beginnings in Hollywood.
- Ian McKellen's transition from stage to screen and his near-miss with the role of Gandalf.
- On and off-set experiences with Tom Hanks.
- How Orlando Bloom borrowed $25 from the author, to reserve the web domain name OrlandoBloom.com
- Andy Serkis's transformation from Gollum's disguise to stardom.
- The downfall of Harvey Weinstein, Bryan Singer, and Kevin Spacey in the #MeToo era.
And that ain't all!
