I am currently in the early research stages on my newest project, a biography/filmography on “The Queen of Technicolor” – Maria Montez.

While there have been two Spanish-language books written on Montez’s life and career, there’s yet to be a book written in English. Now’s the time. I have some wonderful resources and equally wonderful people, all over the world, helping with this new project.

I’m hoping some relatives of Maria will be found along the way, too. 

So, I will begin this creative process yet again…this time, following the path of Maria Montez, from her early days in the Dominican Republic…to Hollywood…and her early-death at age 39 (September 7, 1951) in Paris, France.

The journey begins now! Let’s take it together. If YOU have something to share, please feel free to e-mail me @ – mvozus@gmail.com

I’m SO thankful to George Chakiris for writing the foreword on my upcoming book, Marilyn Monroe: Her Films, Her Life. You can see George in this photo, on the far right of the image.

Going by the reviews, Michael Douglas and Matt Damon will be shoe-ins for Emmy nominations after their stellar performances in the new HBO film, Behind the Candelabra, based on the life of Liberace. Described as “extraordinary”, on why the film wasn’t a cinematic release (which has robbed Douglas and Damon of Oscar nods), director Steven Soderbergh told the New York Post: “We went to everybody in town. They all said it was too gay. And this is after ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ by the way, which is not as funny as this movie. I was stunned. It made no sense to any of us.”
