She also reflects back on her most famous movies, with many behind-the-scenes anecdotes never before revealed, and discusses her enduring friendships with some of entertainment's most prominent performers, including Jack Benny, Loretta Young, Lou Costello, and George Reeves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eISBN  9798887710365 paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe child movie star, sacrificed and abused by Hollywood, exploited by greedy parents, psychologically battered, self-destructive and unable to adjust when fame, attention and youth begin to receded and bank accounts dry up, is as much a cliche as anything Tinsel Town ever laid bare on the big screen. However, like most cliches it has a foundation in truth, sometimes a lot of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHollywood history is littered with the carcasses of many a child performer who either never made it to adulthood or if they did were woefully unprepared for the challenge of real life. A list of such individuals would be a long one, from early juvenile performers such as Carl \"Alfalfa\" Switzer and Bobby Driscoll up through modern performers Anissa Jones, River Phoenix and the recently-deceased Corey Haim, screen lore is replete with a sad and wasteful tally of youthful talents who withered much too early on the vine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are, of course, notable exceptions to this grim scenario, a prime example being Beverly Washburn, one of the busiest child actors of the 1950s and early '60s who honed a steady and impressive list of credits and, as they say, lived to tell about it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Reel Tears (the double-edged title referencing the youthful Beverly's uncanny and industry-wide reputation for being able to shed realistic tears at a directorial drop of the hat) Beverly recounts her early years as a busy child actress in such films as Old Yeller, Shane, The Greatest Show on Earth, The Juggler, The Lone Ranger, The Killer That Stalked New York, Here Comes the Groom and Superman and the Mole Men. She was also busy on the small tube with appearances on Wagon Train, Thriller, Science-Fiction Theatre, Zane Gray Theatre and The New Loretta Young Show, to mention just a few.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring these years she worked with some of the truly memorable figures of the period including Jack Benny (probably her favorite), Lou Costello, Barbara Stanwyck, Dorothy McGuire, Anne Baxter, Loretta Young, Kirk Douglas and Alan Ladd. In the book she provides wonderful tidbits about these performers and her experiences both behind and in front of the camera. She does not, however, attempt to peer over her shoulder at these experiences in an effort to lend an adult or jaded perspective to her recollections. Her objective is to relate as honestly as possible, her youthful and slowly evolving perspective of the showbiz world she found herself a part of. Readers hungry for the dark and remorseless underbelly of movie-making, for rancor and self-pity, need not apply here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNonetheless, there is more to Reel Tears than simply tales of a child, later a juvenile performer, working in movies and on television. It is in many ways two books fused into one: the story of a performer and the story of a survivor. Beverly is both.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second half of the book, and just as compelling as the first, tells how Beverly was eventually forced to adjust to a world where parts were few and adult demands and responsibilities many. It is the chronicle of coping with tragedy, rejection and life's many disappointments and pitfalls without a scintilla of complaint. Mostly it is a refreshing and candid book about dealing with what has to be dealt with and moving on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany wouldn't be able to get away with this but Washburn does. There is a wonderful modesty and honesty inherent in her simple telling which comes across on every page and which resonates with great sincerity, conviction and truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReel Tears is very real, very heartfelt and genuine, just like the lady herself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Scarlet, the Film Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.canyon-news.com\/artman2\/publish\/Canyon_People_51\/Famous_Hills_Residents_With_Their_Pets.php\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eFamous Hills Residents With Their Pets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.canyon-news.com\/artman2\/publish\/beverlyhills\/PraisingTheLadiesIn%20TheHills.php\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Praising the Ladies in the Hills\" from the Canyon News\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.canyon-news.com\/artman2\/publish\/Canyon_People_51\/The_Beverly_Washburn_Story_An_Interview.php\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Beverly Washburn Story, from the Canyon News\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.canyon-news.com\/artman2\/publish\/Books-1\/Reel_Tears_The_Beverly_Washburn_Story.php\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eReview from the Canyon News\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003eCLASSIC IMAGES\"\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eBOOK\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eREVIEW:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Garamond','serif';\"\u003eThe charming Beverly Washburn, one of the most talented child actresses ever, has some significant credits, notably The Juggler (1953), Old Yeller (1957), a 1957 Wagon Train episode \u003ca name=\"_Hlk175928894\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003ewith Lou Costello and the 1967 “The Deadly Years” on Star Trek.

And she is still acting! No self-pity here. This can be attributed to the values her family instilled in her. She’s had numerous tragedies in her life, but she’s gotten through them with a positive attitude. This may sound a bit bland, but it is not; Beverly’s approach to life is refreshing considering how other child stars act and how they always point the finger to their parents and\/or other authority figures (not to say it’s never wrong to blame them). It’s nice to read a light, positive book now and again. Her honesty, sincerity and modesty are sweet.

Wood, Jr., Hollywood, Ed Wood and Me (A Fuller Life) will provide readers with a surprising revelation.

From fashion model, dancer and actress to renowned songwriter and talent manager, Dolores Fuller has done it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn her autobiography, Miss Fuller speaks honestly and with candor about her many triumphs and the professional disappointments and personal tragedies she has endured, such as her virtual partnership with Ed Wood during the making of his early films, to her painful discovery of Wood's transvestism, and their eventual break-up. Her songwriting for Elvis Presley and discovery and nurturing of such talent as Johnny Rivers, to her heart-breaking experience with Tanya Tucker. Finally, Miss Fuller reveals her true feelings towards Sarah Jessica Parker's unflattering performance of her in Tim Burton's Ed Wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilled with fascinating and humorous anecdotes about the many famous people she has known throughout her long career, Dolores Fuller's autobiography is both informative and a highly entertaining read.\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/5789\/6251\/files\/A_Fuller_Life.pdf?v=1622490034\" title=\"Review: A Fuller Life: Hollywood, Ed Wood and Me by John T.

Most vivid is her first day at MGM, an expressive section that is unlike anything I’ve read. Doll takes the reader into that time period, her writing putting us in her shoes as the experiences the film making process for the first time, \u003cem\u003eWizard of Oz\u003c\/em\u003e readers will revel in her recollections of Judy Garland and of her on-set remembrances.

She skips a period of several years in a flash, acting as if it was a natural thing to do, even though her organization doesn’t quite make sense.

Her story switches to gutsy, although still optimistic, prose as she deals with a devastating plane crash, in which she was one of the few survivors, and a marriage to an alcoholic. She gains much sympathy with her honesty and her spunky perseverance in the face of problems and setbacks. You can’t help but like Caren Marsh-Doll. And, undoubtably, you will like her book. It’s a good read – and the pictures are terrific. One boo-boo: no filmography. Considering all her unbilled dancing bits, a film list should have been mandatory.

Once I started this fascinating 175 page tome, I just couldn’t put it down, with its untold tales of the likes of Patsy Kelly, Gary Cooper, Robert Taylor, Mae West, Rock Hudson, Zeppo Marx, Pola Negri, Martin Kosleck, Darla Hood (of Our Gang), Richard Cromwell and a most touching story of the casting of Ma Joad in The Grapes of Wrath – a choice between Jane Darwell and Beulah Bondi, two of Hollywood’s best character actresses ever. There are several “eyebrow lifting” moments here and there, but overall it is always highly entertaining, and illustrated throughout. I highly recommend this book, and can’t wait to read Mr. Lamparski’s companion volume, entitled Manhattan Diary which promises to be another frank and explosive read.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e- Movie Memories\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eRichard Lamparski…has written a wonderful book about his years in Manhattan about the famous and\/or notorious people he knew, including yours truly, the publisher of Badpuppy, who he described thusly: “a blonde about my age with rather flashy good looks.” And Richard doesn’t spare himself either, frankly discussing his imprisonment as the result of a “porny” raid on his apartment on the morning of January 28, 1964.
