Praise for Five Easy Decades: How Jack Nicholson Became the Biggest Movie Star in Modern Times

"Dennis McDougal is a rare Hollywood reporter: honest, fearless, nobody′s fool. This is unvarnished Jack for Jack–lovers and Jack–skeptics but, also, for anyone interested in the state of American culture and celebrity. I always read Mr. McDougal for pointers but worry that he will end up in a tin drum off the coast of New Jersey."
–– Patrick McGilligan, author of Jack′s Life and Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light

Praise for Privileged Son: Otis Chandler and the Rise and Fall of the L.A. Times Dynasty

"A great freeway pileup––part biography, part dysfunctional family chronicle, and part institutional and urban history, with generous dollops of scandal and gossip."
–– Hendrick Hertzberg, The New Yorker

"McDougal has managed to scale the high walls that have long protected the Chandler clan and returned with wicked tales told by angry ex–wives and jealous siblings."
––The Washington Post

Praise for The Last Mogul: Lew Wasserman, MCA and the Hidden History of Hollywood

"Real glamour needs a dark side. That is part of the fascination of Dennis McDougal′s wonderful book."
––The Economist

"Thoroughly reported and engrossing . . . the most noteworthy trait of MCA was how it hid its power."
––The New York Times Book Review

"Over the years, I′ve read hundreds of books on Hollywood and the movie business, and this one is right at the top."
–– Michael Blowen, The Boston Globe

Pop culture is one of the best subjects for paperbacks, and it is not uncommon to see a paperback outsell the hardcover.

Descriere

Praise for Five Easy Decades
"Dennis McDougal paces his excellent biography of Jack Nicholson, who recently became a septuagenarian, with the command of an experienced marathoner."
The Washington Post
"McDougal captures quite well the whirlwind of Nicholson′s hardscrabble years." Los Angeles Times
"A model biography: exhaustive, full of action, and startlingly illuminating. . . . McDougal presents an engrossing showcase of big films and bigger personalities [and he] makes Nicholson′s everyday life just as fascinating as his films. . . . McDougal′s research is so deep and detailed, his extensive chapter notes could make a fine book of their own."
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light
Unconventional and unrestrained, Jack Nicholson is a famous and infamous pop–culture icon known for his romantic escapades, his hair–trigger temper, and his love affair with the L.A. Lakers. Written by a veteran journalist with access to Hollywood′s heavy hitters, this candid, probing biography gives you a spellbinding, incisive look at the megawatt Method actor with the enigmatic Cheshire cat grin.
