The poignant true story of a Jewish family who hid in an attic for
two years before they were captured by the Nazis. The film follows
the life of celebrated diarist Anne Frank (Millie Perkins), as
remembered in hindsight by her father Otto (Joseph Schildkraut).
Shelley Winters won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and the
film also garnered Oscars for Best Black and White Cinematography
and Best Art Direction, in addition to receiving a further five
nominations.
"Do you think you could teach Rock Hudson to talk like you
do?"
The question came from famed Hollywood director George Stevens,
and an affirmative answer propelled Bob Hinkle into a fifty-year
career in Hollywood as a speech coach, actor, producer, director,
and friend to the stars. Along the way, Hinkle helped Rock Hudson,
Dennis Hopper, Carroll Baker, and Mercedes McCambridge talk like
Texans for the 1956 epic film "Giant." He also helped create the
character Jett Rink with James Dean, who became a best friend, and
he consoled Elizabeth Taylor personally when Dean was killed in a
tragic car accident before the film was released.
A few years later, Paul Newman asked Hinkle to do for him what
he'd done for James Dean. The result was Newman's powerful
portrayal of a Texas no-good in the Academy Award-winning film
"Hud" (1963). Hinkle could--and did--stop by the LBJ Ranch to
exchange pleasantries with the president of the United States. He
did likewise with Elvis Presley at Graceland. Good friends with
Robert Wagner, Hinkle even taught Wagner's wife Natalie Wood how to
throw a rope. He appeared in numerous television series, including
"Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Dragnet, and Walker, Texas Ranger." On a
handshake, he worked as country music legend Marty Robbins's
manager, and he helped Evel Knievel rise to fame.
From his birth in Brownfield, Texas, to a family so poor "they
could only afford a tumbleweed as a pet," Hinkle went on to gain
acclaim in Hollywood. Through it all, he remained the salty,
down-to-earth former rodeo cowboy from West Texas who could talk
his way into--or out of--most any situation. More than forty
photographs, including rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of the stars
Hinkle met and befriended along the way, complement this rousing,
never-dull memoir.

A rich companion volume to George Stevens, Jr.'s much admired
book of American Film Institute seminars with the pioneering
moviemakers of Hollywood's Golden Age, this time with a focus on
filmmakers of the 1950s to present day.
"The Next Generation" brings together conversations with
moviemakers at work from the 1950s--during the studios' decline--to
today's Hollywood. Directors, producers, writers, actors,
cinematographers, composers, film editors, and independent
filmmakers appear within these pages, including Steven Spielberg,
Nora Ephron, George Lucas, Sidney Poitier, Meryl Streep, David
Lynch, Darren Aronofsky, and more. We see how the filmmakers of
today and those of Hollywood's Golden Age face the same challenges
of both art and craft--to tell compelling stories on the screen.
And we see the ways in which actors and directors work together,
how each director has his or her own approach, and how they share
techniques and theories.
