Clark Gable. Marilyn Monroe. James Dean. Mae West. Stars from the Golden
Age of Hollywood are spoofed in Michael Druxman’s imaginatively comical
fiction novel about Harry Pennypacker, a prolific and revered newspaper
columnist and colleague of Louella Parsons, Walter Winchell, and the
other great columnists of the day. Unfortunately, nobody has ever heard
of him because the papers never run his articles. Editors deem his
material too hot, too dangerous, and too likely to tarnish the delicate
image of silver screen icons, until years later, when a small cache of
the secret files of Harry Pennypacker resurface.
132 pages. Illustrated with photographs and caricatures (by Dave Woodman) of the stars.
"Always full of surprises, Druxman takes us on a wild and zany ride down a yellow brick road of filmdom myth that's fun and amusing; it's a sure bet for plenty of laughs." –actor Steve Kanaly
" I was mesmerized; I was astonished; I was giggling. A book that makes Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon seem like Fun with Dick and Jane.” – author Bruce Kimmel
"A diverting humorous satire on Tinseltown." – author James Robert Parish
