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!

The Hollywood Scandals

 by Michael B. Druxman on 09/27/15

September 28, 2015


If you've been considering purchasing one of my last 3 Hollywood-based stage plays, collectively titled THE HOLLYWOOD SCANDALS, you will be happy to learn that all three are now available in one anthology, THE HOLLYWOOD SCANDALS: Three Plays About Tinseltown's Dark Side.

The price of this new volume is less than the cost of two of the plays if you purchased them individually.

The plays that we're talking about are B MOVIE, which deals with the sordid Franchot Tone/Barbara Payton/Tom Neal "lust triangle; SEXY REXY, the story of Rex Harrison and the women in his life, including actresses Carole Landis and Rachel Roberts, both of whom committed suicide; and LANA & JOHNNY WERE LOVERS, the story of superstar Lana Turner and her mobster boy friend, Johnny Stompanato.

The anthology is available in both paperback and Kindle editions, and can be purchased by visiting the Amazon website.

If that link doesn't work, just copy the address below and you'll be taken right there.

I'm Off the Cane

 by Michael B. Druxman on 09/21/15

September 21, 2015

So, this past week, the doctor took me off the cane.  Now, I'm just limping around; continuing to do therapy for my foot.

In a way, I kind of miss the cane and the walker.  People were always opening doors for me, stepping aside to let me go first...

I do have another MRI this week.  They want to take pictures of my neck and left shoulder.  Been having some radiating  aches there.  Probably Arthritis, but we will see.

Wife Sandy is scheduled for some surgery (neck and back) next month.  Thank God for Medicare.

On a brighter note, I am awaiting the proof copy of THE HOLLYWOOD SCANDALS, a 3 play anthology that includes my plays B MOVIE, SEXY REXY and LANA & JOHNNY WERE LOVERS.  If you've been thinking about reading these plays, this is a good deal, as the anthology is priced at less than two of the plays if you bought them individually.

The book should be available in another week or so.  A perfect holiday gift for the movie buff in your life.  More later.

You have a creative week.

Michael

I'm on a Cane

 by Michael B. Druxman on 09/12/15

September 14, 2015

The doctor took me out of the boot last week.  I'm carrying a cane, though most of the time I can pretty much move around without it.  I use it mostly for security, should there be a problem with my foot.

I still don't feel much like writing; starting any new projects.  I review movies for the Best Bets on DVD site when I' sent them, but that's about it.  Incidentally, there are new reviews of two Robert Mitchum Westerns on the site now, YOUNG BILLY YOUNG and THE WONDERFUL COUNTRY.  Later this week, I'll be watching/reviewing a Rex Harrison film, THE HONEY POT, so keep an eye out for that one, too.  You can access the Best Bets on DVD site by clicking on the link in the Introduction section of this page.

I'm also in the process of preparing my last 3 plays, B MOVIE, SEXY REXY and LANA & JOHNNY WERE LOVERS, as an anthology, THE HOLLYWOOD SCANDALS.  No real new writing involved; just formatting.  I hope to have the book available for holiday giving.

A few doctor appointments this week, but beyond that, there's not much on the schedule.  Now, I'm off to the gym.  I have to walk in the pool for a half hour: foot therapy.

You have a creative week.

Michael.
