Alan Ball - Conversations (Hardcover)

"Alan Ball: Conversations" features interviews that span Alan Ball's entire career and include detailed observations and insights into his Academy Award-winning film "American Beauty" and Emmy Award-winning television shows "Six Feet Under" and "True Blood." Ball began his career as a playwright in New York, and his work soon caught the attention of Hollywood television producers. After writing for the sitcoms "Grace Under Fire" and "Cybill," Ball turned his attention to the screenplay that would become "American Beauty." The critical success of this film opened up exciting possibilities for him in the realm of television. He created the critically acclaimed show "Six Feet Under," and after the series finale, he decided to explore the issue of American bigotry toward the Middle East in his 2007 play "All That I Will Ever Be" and the film "Towelhead," which he adapted and directed in the same year. Ball returned to television once again with the series "True Blood"--an adaptation of the humorous, entertaining, and erotic world of Charlaine Harris's vampire novels. In 2012 Ball announced that he would step down as executive producer of "True Blood," in part, to produce both a new television series and his latest screenplay, "What's the Matter with Margie?"
