Tim Burton directs the story of one of Hollywood's worst film
directors, Ed Wood. Setting up shop in Tinseltown with plenty of
enthusiasm but no discernible talent, Wood (Johnny Depp) is
undeterred when his debut feature, cross-dressing drama 'Glen or
Glenda' (in which he also stars) is a flop. He goes on to make
'Bride of the Monster', also a commercial and creative disaster,
with ailing horror star Bela Lugosi (Martin Landau), before
embarking on his most grandiose scheme yet: 'Plan 9 from Outer
Space'. Martin Landau won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his
portrayal of the morphine-addicted Lugosi.
For people familiar with Dolores Fuller only through her work and
professional association with notorious '50s film director Edward
D. Wood, Jr., Hollywood, Ed Wood and Me (A Fuller Life) will
provide readers with a surprising revelation. Throughout her
career, Miss Fuller has proven her talent and versatility in
numerous facets of the entertainment industry. From fashion model,
dancer and actress to renowned songwriter and talent manager,
Dolores Fuller has done it all. In her autobiography, Miss Fuller
speaks honestly and with candor about her many triumphs and the
professional disappointments and personal tragedies she has
endured, such as her virtual partnership with Ed Wood during the
making of his early films, to her painful discovery of Wood's
transvestism, and their eventual break-up. Her songwriting for
Elvis Presley and discovery and nurturing of such talent as Johnny
Rivers, to her heart-breaking experience with Tanya Tucker.
Finally, Miss Fuller reveals her true feelings towards Sarah
Jessica Parker's unflattering performance of her in Tim Burton's Ed
Wood. Filled with fascinating and humorous anecdotes about the many
famous people she has known throughout her long career, Dolores
Fuller's autobiography is both informative and a highly
entertaining read.
