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!

Another Busy Week Ahead

by Michael B. Druxman on 06/16/12

June 18, 2012

This is going to be a very busy week.  This morning, I have my annual check-up with the dermatologist, then tomorrow night (19) I give my talk on Basil Rathbone at the Baker Street Pub in South Austin.  Hopefully, we'll sell a few copies of BASIL RATHBONE: His Life and His Films at the event.

On Saturday, I'm going to be part of a panel on self-publishing for a agent's convention being sponsored by the Texas Writer's League, so that should be interesting.  I enjoy being on these kinds of panels.

I continue to write my second book of memoirs, and am approaching the 200 page mark.  As I advance toward the finish of the book, I find that I am slowing down somewhat.  Perhaps I'm afraid to write those two scary words, "The End," lest they come true.

This last week, I finally saw THE ARTIST when I received a Blu-ray review copy.  I really enjoyed this Oscar-winning film, and you can read my review on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link on the Introduction section of this page.

BTW: If you are on Facebook, please come over and "like" my The Hollywood Legends page.  It's dedicated to the Hollywood icons about whom I've written one-person plays: Clara Bow, Maurice Chevalier, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, Al Jolson, Carole Lombard Spencer Tracy and Orson Welles.  I try to put a new clip from one of their classic films onto the site every day, and once or twice a week, I include a fun poll in which you can vote.  So, come take a look.

If the link in the above paragraph doesn't work, here's the web address that you can copy and paste into your browser:

https://www.facebook.com/TheHollywoodLegends

And, if you didn't already know, all eight of the plays are available for purchase on Amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle editions.

You have a creative week.

Michael
