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!

Doing Research

by Michael B. Druxman on 04/11/15

April 13, 2015

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.

Michael
