Описание: This book is composed of Loretta Young's 1990 conversations with me (Edward Funk) about her movie years.In the concurrent new book, "Behind the Door: the Real Life of Loretta Young," I delve into a select few of Loretta Young's ninety-eight films; enough to know she was a major movie star and her battles to get there and remain for the next twenty-five years. Yet, Loretta and I had discussed ninety-one of her films and that left so much material behind. Since 1990, voices able to recall a career from the silent era, through the golden years of film, have been extinguished. Loretta's isn't just any voice; she tells us from an Academy Award winning star's perspective. She discusses the actors, the directors, the producers, the clothes (and more clothes ), what she learned about acting, her innumerable "crushes" on her leading men, her reputation as being "difficult," the roles she wanted, the roles she didn't. It's eighty thousand words of memories, a discussion of which, hopefully, classic film buffs will enjoy eavesdropping. Excerpts: When the camera rolled, he (jimmy Cagney) was in character; there was no getting around it. And I think for a woman to have a man, who is violent that way, but she's the only one he's sensitive with and sweet and soft with, it's doubly important to her then. Even playing a character in a picture, you felt a part of that. Acting, I think, is a wonderful bit of therapy for anyone because you can do, really, anything that you might be tempted to, and you really aren't doing it, because you're only acting. Because there's a lot of attraction, I find, in evil. Usually, it's so covered up with beauty that you don't see the evil.Nothing turns me off quicker than somebody who's not infatuated or thinks I'm divine.If you are a star, you don't have to act like a star. You are a star. You know that by how much money you get; you know that by where your name appears....You can only make love for three minutes as long as the camera is rolling, and passionate love if you want, and the minute the camera is over, no responsibility whatsoever. You call that just a job? Well, it's not quite "just a job," is it? I know I want things my way. I know in the studio, everyone used to say and they still do, that I'm not the easiest person in the world to work with...producers and writers...... I know I'm not.....I was given the #1 dressing room at the studio for MAN'S CASTLE. I didn't know at that time that at the back of the closet of that dressing room there was a door that led right into Harry Cohn's private office. I think Alan (Ladd) was very conscious of his looks. He would not look beyond a certain point in the camera because he didn't think he looked good. What difference does it make what a man looks like so long as he looks like a man? With a woman, it's very important. These are women's tricks. It's a model's walk. It allows you to swing your body without swinging your hips because the whole body goes with it. I know it's showing off. Otherwise it would not please me most when the camera is going because everybody is going to look at me big, blown-up.You'd be surprised how important a movie star feels at times. Reigning kings and queens don't mean very much unless they come into your life in the way this did. But just to meet a king or queen, I don't know, I'd never go out of my way to do it. Now, I loved love scenes, all the touching and petting because I liked men. I liked them then, and I still like them.(Speaking to director Jules Dassin): I can't continue. I don't think you're any happier with me than I am with you. One of us is going to go, and I think, unfortunately for you, at this point, I'm a bigger star than you're a director. It isn't easy for a beautiful woman to be a faithful wife. If she's happily married, yes. Very easy for her to be. But if she's unhappily married and she's attractive, it's very difficult. Very.

Описание:
Eavesdropping in Oberammergau presents the lives of two families--a Jewish-American military family and a German family--plus a character derived from a true story who meet in Oberammergau, Germany, in the years immediately following World War II. The novel knits together the friendship between the families' eleven-year- old daughters, the eavesdropping Alison and Trudy, and Stefan Hirsch, the novel's hero.
Oberammergau is no ordinary Bavarian village--it is the home of the world-famous Passion Play, drawing millions of visitors to view the drama of the last days of Jesus. Generations of the townspeople have been transforming themselves into the saints and villains of the Biblical story every ten years for four centuries.
Author Hilary Salk has fictionalized her experience of living in Oberammergau, the only child of a Jewish American military officer, to impart the reality of life in this village full of make-believe.
Fifty years after she attended The Passion Play in 1950, Salk learned about the efforts by Jewish organizations to counteract the blatant anti-Semitism in The Play, and its links to Nazi hatred. Her research also led her to discover the story of a man that became the inspiration for her novel.
Renamed Stefan Hirsch in her book, Salk created a past, present, and future based on these bare truths about his real-life counterpart:
He was born a Jew in Munich.
He came to Oberammergau as a Catholic convert in the 1930s, and lived there until attacked on Kristallnacht in 1938, when he was taken to Dachau Concentration Camp.
He was eventually released from Dachau, and lived in England for the remainder of the war. After the war, he returned to Oberammergau. The question is why. Salk's wonderful book answers that question, and relates how Hirsch's return transformed the lives of Alison and Trudy.

Описание: This unique reference presents 59 biographies of people who were key to the sea services being reasonably prepared to fight the Japanese Empire when the Second World War broke out, and whose advanced work proved crucial. These intelligence pioneers invented techniques, procedures, and equipment from scratch, not only allowing the United States to hold its own in the Pacific despite the loss of most of its Fleet at Pearl Harbor, but also laying the foundation of today's intelligence methods and agencies. One-hundred years ago, in what was clearly an unsophisticated pre-information era, naval intelligence (and foreign intelligence in general) existed in rudimentary forms almost incomprehensible to us today. Founded in 1882, the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI)-the modern world's "oldest continuously operating intelligence agency"-functioned for at least its first forty years with low manning, small budgets, low priority, and no prestige. The navy's early steps into communications intelligence (COMINT), which included activities such as radio interception, radio traffic analysis, and cryptology, came with the 1916 establishment of the Code and Signals Section within the navy's Division of Communications and with the 1924 creation of the "Research Desk" as part of the Section. Like ONI, this COMINT organization suffered from low budgets, manning, priority, and prestige. The dictionary focuses on these pioneers, many of whom went on, even after World War II, to important positions in the Navy, the State Department, the Armed Forces Security Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Central Intelligence Agency. It reveals the work and innovations of well and lesser-known individuals who created the foundations of today's intelligence apparatus and analysis.
