Movie Stars, Real People, And Me – Joshua Logan, 1978 ★★

Hollywood Tell-All, Take Two

Joshua Logan forged a successful career repurposing the tried-and-true into fresh entertainments. Here we get to see him work the same crafty mojo on himself.

Two years after publishing his show-business memoir, 
Josh: My Up And Down, In And Out Life, the celebrated producer-director returned in 1978 with another show-business memoir. This time, his focus is on anecdotes about Hollywood’s rich and famous; actors like Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, and Bette Davis; producers like Sam Goldwyn; directors like Mel Brooks.

Even Princess Margaret puts in an appearance. What’s not to love?
