Why the Hell Didn't You Tell Me? (Paperback): Steven Bach Why the Hell Didn't You Tell Me? (Paperback)
Steven Bach
R217 Discovery Miles 2 170 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This fictionalized memoir started out as a list of odd events of my life that piqued my curiosity. At parties and other gatherings people seemed to be very interested as I told these stories from my past and they urged me to commit them to paper. These events were experienced during a time of stress, heavy use of hallucinogens, head injuries, and survival. Along the way the experiences of magic, sentient weather systems, ancient star constellations, and brushes with the law, along with the navigation of the emotional chasms and heavens they evoked, were among the most memorable times of my life. --Steven Bach Review by Don Williams "Get ready for a trip down the rabbit hole, across the universe and through the author's personal looking glass all at a gulp should you slip this daring, courageous and insightful book beneath your tongue. Steven Bach has rendered the story of his psychic and physical voyaging with day-glo honesty, numinous pathos, and neon wit. Bravo" -- Don Williams, New Millennium Writings

Heaven's Gate is probably the most discussed, least seen film in modern movie history. Its notoriety is so great that its title has become a generic term for disaster, for ego run rampant, for epic mismanagement, for wanton extravagance. It was also the film that brought down one of Hollywood's major studios--United Artists, the company founded in 1919 by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, D. W. Griffith, and Charlie Chaplin. Steven Bach was senior vice president and head of worldwide production for United Artists at the time of the filming of Heaven's Gate, and apart from the director and producer, the only person to witness the film's evolution from beginning to end. Combining wit, extraordinary anecdotes, and historical perspective, he has produced a landmark book on Hollywood and its people, and in so doing, tells a story of human absurdity that would have made Chaplin proud.

Leni Riefenstahl, the woman known as "Hitler's filmmaker," made some of the greatest and most innovative documentaries ever made. They are also insidious glorifications of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Now, Steven Bach reveals the truths and lies behind Riefenstahl's lifelong self-vindication as an apolitical artist who claimed to know nothing of the Holocaust and denied her complicity with the criminal regime she both used and sanctified.
A riveting and illuminating biography of one of the most fascinating and controversial personalities of the twentieth century.

From the Algonquin Round Table to the Gershwins and the Hollywood moguls, Moss Hart knew and delighted everybody. Vanity Fair has called him "one of American theatre's greatest geniuses," the man responsible for such indelible successes as A Star Is Born , Camelot , and My Fair Lady . His rags-to-riches autobiography, Act One , became one of the most successful and beloved books ever published about the lure of the theatre. But it ended at the beginning,when Hart was only twenty-five. Now, at last, we have the whole and far richer story in this first full-scale biography of "the Prince of Broadway." Here Steven Bach explores the private Moss Hart, revealing his struggles with self-doubt, depression, and sexual identity, and the public one, recounting his creativity and charisma, his wit and grace. With thorough research and graceful prose, Steven Bach takes us on a journey to another time and place, where one man created a dazzling world for himself and for all American theatregoers.
