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

My New Stage Play

by Michael B. Druxman on 06/12/15

June 15, 2015

My new play for THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection is virtually finished. As soon as I proof it sometime this week, I will be uploading the manuscript and once I proof the first copy, I will make it available for you to read.

The title of the four character play is LANA & JOHNNY WERE LOVERS, and it deals with the Lana Turner/Johnny Stompanato affair, which was certainly the biggest Hollywood scandal of the 1950s. It was even more infamous than the Franchot Tone/Barbara Payton/Tom Neal scandal, which preceded it by several years and I deal with in my play, B MOVIE.

Interestingly, although I was still residing in Seattle, I happened to be visiting Los Angeles with my parents when both of these sensational stories broke. I have a vivid memory of seeing the newspaper headlines in the L.A. papers.

I'll have more information on LANA & JOHNNY WERE LOVERS when we get closer to the publication date.

In the meantime, I'm in the process of correcting the proofs for my Dinah Shore biography, then once I'm done with that, I'll be checking the final audio version of MURDER IN BABYLON.

Busy. Busy. Busy.

You have a creative week.

Michael
