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!

Family Tree

 by Michael B. Druxman on 01/20/11

January 21, 2011

I've suddenly taken an interest in researching my family tree.

Because of the Holocaust, I've probably researched my father's side of the family about as far back as I can go.  Records of Jews from Europe and Russia, in most cases, were lost during World War II.

However, I really know very little about my mother's side of the family, so I think, as time permits, I'm going to do some digging to see what I can learn.  I know that her maternal grandfather was a lawyer, who clerked for Clarence Darrow, but that's about it.

On her father's side, I believe that one of his brothers was in the Texas oil business, so that should be interesting to explore.

In the meantime, I have a interview with the Austin newspaper today, which I'm looking forward to doing.

So, you have a creative weekend and I'll be back with you on Monday.

Bad Back

 by Michael B. Druxman on 01/19/11

January 20, 2011

I'm dealing with an out-of-whack back today. 

I visited the chiropractor yesterday.  He made an adjustment, and now I'm hoping it will be okay by tomorrow, because I have an important lunch meeting.

For those of you on Facebook, I just discovered that there is a page devoted to my 1994 film, CHEYENNE WARRIOR.  That makes me sort of proud.

So, please visit the page and "Like" it.  If enough people do, maybe somebody will re-release it onto DVD...or even Blu-Ray.

Now, here (for your amusement) are some comments that were made in 1955:

"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $10.00."

"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?  It won't be long before $1000.00 will only buy a used one."

"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit; 20 cents a pack is ridiculous."

"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter?"

You have a creative day.

Michael
