More About the Author

I have the privilege of doing work (i.e., writing books) that I thoroughly enjoy, so it is no real chore to be active on my book projects seven days a week. Doing research is much like being a detective, bringing as many elements of the subject's life to light and assessing how each piece fits into the puzzle of a celebrity's biography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Cover Everyone, December 14, 2001

This review is from: HOLLYWOOD BABY BOOMERS (Garland Reference Library of the Humanities) (Hardcover)

My problem with this otherwise good reference book is that while those born between 1958 and 1964 are also considered baby boomers, no actors born during those years are included. Therefore, you will not see biographies of Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy, Darryl Hannah, Cathy Moriaty, Michael J. Fox, etc. However, the ones that are included are just as interesting. Nice addition to a film buff's library.
