Doing Research

This past week, I spent gathering research materials and starting to read some books about the subject of my next play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection. This will be #13 in the series, but this and the last two (i.e. B MOVIE and SEXY REXY) could be subtitled "The Hollywood Scandals". Like with B MOVIE, which deals with the Franchot Tone/Barbara Payton/Tom Neal affair, I remember very well when the climatic moment of this scandal occurred. Indeed, I was visiting Los Angeles from my home in Seattle when the incident happened.
There is a lot of fascinating material in this person's life. Part of the challenge is going to be deciding what not to use.
There's are reviews of both BIG EYES and HIT BY LIGHTNING on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page. So, please take a look.
My recent novel, MURDER IN BABYLON, which deals with the William Desmond Taylor murder, is getting some nice reviews on the Amazon site, so if you haven't ordered your copy, now is the time.
You have a creative weeks.
