Biskind bites off a big chunk of entertainment history, following HBO from its birth into maturity, moving on to the basic cablers like FX and AMC, and ending up with the streamers and their wars, pitting Netflix against Amazon Prime Video, Max, and the killer pluses—Disney, Apple TV, and Paramount.

Bela Lugosi is a true screen icon forever memorialized for his performance as Dracula in the legendary 1931 film, and it is as that supernatural creature he is best remembered. Yet Lugosi's talents went far-beyond the blood-sucking count, mad doctors and voodoo masters. In this book, long-time Lugosi fan Peter H.

Much like The Lux Radio Theater, The Screen Guild Players presented radio dramatizations of popular movies of the era, usually with the original film stars at the microphone. Condensing a full-length film story into a twenty-two-minute radio play presented considerable challenges to the writers (in 1950-51, the series was expanded to a full hour). Broadcast from 1939 until 1952 for sponsors Gulf Oil, Lady Esther Cosmetics, and Camel Cigarettes, nearly every major Hollywood star made an appearance, including Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, Joan Crawford, and more.

Carlos Acevedo takes us step by step from the 'true life' inspiration ...
