What took you so long to get here?

Where have you been all my life?

I’ll tell you where I’ve been.

I’ve been in show business!

Ever since I was a little kid and heard Pinocchio singing, “Hey, diddly-dee, an actor’s life for me,” that’s what I wanted. Well, not to be an actor.

I got tired of that during my freshman year in college.

So, what to do, what to do. . .

After many years as a Hollywood press agent, I became a writer…movies, stage plays, books.

Anything that was a challenge. I love telling stories.

After all, with due respect to actors, directors and other artists, isn’t the only truly creative aspect of the performing arts the written word?

Everything else is “interpretation”.

On this site you will find links to my many stage plays that are available for licensing, listings of my books that are available for purchasing, some of my screenplays that are available for optioning, plus my blog that will keep you apprised of my various on-going activities and we can get to know each other, maybe too well.

If you’re into DVDs, take a look at my monthly newsletter, BEST BETS ON DVD.

Also, if you have a story that you want told, either in screenplay or book form, I am still a writer-for-hire. Have Mac-Will Write.

So, please sign the guest book and share your thoughts and comments on my blog. But, let’s play nice!

Don’t be such a stranger. Keep coming back!

Michael

Wouldn't You Know It?

by Michael B. Druxman on 12/14/10

December 15, 2010

Wouldn't you know it?

The package from the Warner Archive that I was complaining about in Tuesday's blog arrived yesterday.

It was shipped on the 1st, but took the scenic route to get here...two weeks later.

There are some interesting movies in the package: THE UNHOLY THREE, Lon Chaney's last movie and only talkie, FIVE STAR FINAL with Edward G. Robinson, which was a Best Picture nominee the year it was released, plus THE CANTERVILLE GHOST with Charles Laughton, a movie I recall fondly from my youth. Also, GUN GLORY, a western with Stewart Granger and THE UNDERWORLD STORY with Dan Duryea, obviously a gangster picture.

My screenplay is coming along quite well. I just might have my first pass finished by the end of the year.

In the meantime, I've started watching the final season of "24," and I'm certainly enjoying it.

So, you have a creative day and I'll be back with you tomorrow.

Michael
