New Book on Jennifer Jones

Acclaimed author, PAUL GREEN, has just announced his latest subject, a long overdue book dedicated to the life and films of actress, Jennifer Jones. Together with a fantastic Foreword (yes, I’ve already read it) written by TCM host, Robert Osborne, this book (available Spring/Summer 2011) may well be his best one yet!

Mr. Green’s newly created blog that is solely dedicated to his upcoming release, Jennifer Jones: The Life and Films is now up and ready for viewing. He welcomes questions and is very receptive to fan queries. Also, he’s now taking pre orders for autographed copies.

Look out for an EXCLUSIVE interview with author, Paul Green, right HERE, very soon! For now, take a look at his blog below.

Hollywood Homicide…

Below: One of the less graphic (I kid you not!) crime scene photos of Hollywood murder victim, Elizabeth Short aka “The Black Dahlia.”

MURDER!

It started with William Desmond Taylor in 1922, and the latest unsolved murder (to date) is that of well-liked publicist, Ronni Chasen. Throughout the decades, there’s been a slew of “whodunits” in between Taylor and Chasen, with the Black Dahlia case being one of the most gruesome of all. The mutilated body (she was severed at the waist) of Elizabeth Short was found on January 15, 1947, her gruesome end and the mystery surrounding it has inspired several book and film adaptions.

Read article link below for more info on several Hollywood murders throughout the years…if you’re a Hollywood historian, you’ll probably remember most of them, but it’s a stark reminder of the seedy side of Hollywood – then and now!

Jimmy Stewart Museum Struggling To Survive…HELP!

***The Jimmy Stewart Museum is in trouble and help is desperately needed for it to remain open!***

A sad sign of the times, I’m afraid 😦

However, when everyone sits down to watch, “It’s A Wonderful Life” for the 1000th time this Christmas, think about the hours of joy and entertainment that Jimmy Stewart has given YOU over the years…an iconic American hero, he can’t be forgotten and lost to future generations. The modest museum is operated in his home town of Indiana, PA.

More info about The Jimmy Stewart Museum is located HERE

Please, think of something that YOU can do to help The Jimmy Stewart Museum out of this terrible bind…

Though the website (http://www.jimmy.org/) is currently inactive , NOT a good sign in itself, I’ve provided their mailing address and telephone number below:

***NEWSFLASH***NEWSFLASH***NEWSFLASH***

I have just been advised by my publisher that the new soft cover version ($38 RRP) of Gene Tierney: A Biography has been fast-tracked and will be available NEXT WEEK…just in time for Christmas! The book is currently being printed and there IS a new cover design, which is VERY exciting.

I will be sure to unveil the new cover ASAP!

For now, pre-orders are being taken at the MCFARLAND website and AMAZON too. Let’s hope this soft cover version is just as successful as its hard cover counterpart 🙂

Thanks to everyone who owns one of my books…I’m truly honored that my work is included on your book shelf!
