"Christopher Knopf is a consistently superb writer with his body of
work a treasury of accomplishment any writer would envy. Here are
the personal experiences that formed his keen insight on life and
the nimble mind that led him to the Presidency of the Writers Guild
of America, West. He speaks with complete honesty of the many
people he has worked with and worked for in a vacillating, perilous
profession. It makes a helluva read." - John Gay, Oscar nominated
Screenwriter, Separate Tables "Over his 50 year career writing for
movies and television, Chris Knopf worked with many of Hollywood's
great stars, producers and directors. He is a wonderful story
teller and has filled this book with tricks of the trade, inspiring
anecdotes, and one entertaining story after another. It's a must
read for any aspiring screenwriter. - Tom Schulman, Oscar Winning
Screenwriter, Dead Poets Society "All television writers know who
'wrote the book' on writing Movies and Miniseries for Television --
it was Chris Knopf, and now he's written the warm and engaging
story of how he did it while at the same time leading a graceful
and rewarding life. Reading this very human memoir reminded me
again and again how much I like and admire Chris and why." - David
Rintels, playwright, three-time Emmy winning writer, past
President, Writers Guild of America West "Will The Real Me Please
Stand Up is a page turner that will earn its way into your library.
It's written by a person who grew up in a family of Hollywood
Royalty. His father, colorful and charming, as well as domineering
and insensitive, was a movie producer during MGM's golden years. I
was fully immersed in this fascinating success story of Chris'
battle to become his own man and creative force, emerging as an
award winning writer." - Jerry Mayer, producer, playwright,
television writer for The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Mash "Old
Hollywood lives again in Chris Knopf's engaging life story, which
could be subtitled "Sometimes Nepotism Doesn't Work," about his
struggle and triumph with a competitive father who lived in the
last days of the old studio system. - Del Reisman, story editor
Playhouse 90, past President, Writers Guild of America, West. "A
must read for any aspiring screenwriter" - Tom Schulman, Academy
Award Winning Writer. "A consistently superb writer...in a
vacillating, perilous profession" - John Gay, Academy Award
Nominated Writer "All writers know who wrote the book on writing
Movies and Miniseries for television" - David Rintels, Three-time
Emmy Winning Writer.
