Hardback. Condizione: Good. From one of the most successful and influential producers in the entertainment industry, the man responsible for classics such as ROOTS, THE THORN BIRDS and L. A. CONFIDENTIAL, comes a fascinating memoir of life at the very hub of Hollywood. David L. Wolper and television were born in 1928. Wolper's entrepreneurial talents were obvious from the start, when he sold homegrown radishes to his mother for a penny each and delivered sealed envelopes for the wise guys who hung around New York's Copacabana nightclub. Part salesman, part visionary, Wolper began his television career in 1949 by peddling programmes to the newly created broadcasting stations. In the four decades since his production company, Wolper Productions, has created thousands of hours of diverse programming, including the two highest rated mini-series of all-time, ROOTS and THE THORN BIRDS. He has also produced such spectacles as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and movies such as L. A. CONFIDENTIAL and WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. Yet despite Wolper's numerous awards he has remained street-smart, wry and surprisingly down-to-earth. Told in a conversational, comfortable voice, PRODUCER is filled with funny and startling anecdotes about such diverse personalities as Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley and John Lennon. The are also tales of other legendary filmmakers such as Orson Welles and Frederico Fellini. PRODUCER is the engaging and inspiring memoir of a true pioneer.…

From the dust jacket: "From one of the most successful and influential producers in the entertainment industry -- responsible for classics such as ROOTS, THE THORN BIRDS, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, and WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY -- comes a fascinating memoir of life at the very hub of Hollywood. David L. Wolper and television were both born in 1928, and their futures would be forever linked, as Wolper grew up to become one of the most significant television producers. His entrepreneurial talents were obvious from the start, when he sold homegrown radishes to his mother for a penny each and delivered sealed envelopes for the wiseguys who hung around New York's Copacabana nightclub. Part salesman, part visionary, Wolper began his television career in 1949 by peddling films to the newly created TV stations across the country. He left the distribution business in 1958 when he produced his first award-winning television documentary, RACE FOR SPACE, about the competing U.S. and Russian space programs. From that point on, Wolper's career skyrocketed. His company, Wolper Productions, has created thousands of hours of diverse programming, including the two highest-rated miniseries of all time, ROOTS and THE THORN BIRDS; such landmark spectacles as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics; hit comedies like WELCOME BACK, KOTTER; the classic movies L.A. CONFIDENTIAL and WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY; film biographies of John Lennon and Elvis Presley; and acclaimed documentaries with Jacques Cousteau and the National Geographic Society. Despite Wolper's staggering success and his countless Oscars, Emmys, and Golden Globes, he remains street-smart, wry, and surprisingly down-to-earth. Told in a conversational, comfortable voice, PRODUCER is filled with funny and surprising anecdotes about such varied personalities as Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Grace and John Travolta, the Kennedys and Richard Nixon, and legends Orson Welles and Federico Fellini. By combining flexibility, resourcefulness, and determination, Wolper produced some of the landmark documentaries, films, miniseries, and entertainment events of the twentieth century. PRODUCER is the engaging and inspiring memoir of a true pioneer.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New/New dust jacket. 8vo. xvi, 368pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. …
