Interviews with Classic Film Writers:

These are a few of my favorite posts on the entire site. I read a book, somehow make contact with the author and then have the gall to ask them if I can shoot some questions over about their work. I want more of these.

  • Interview with Ricardo Cortez Biographer Dan Van Neste
  • Scott Allen Nollen Discusses Robert E. Burns, Chain Gang, and His Latest Book
  • Interview with Glenda Farrell Biographer Scott Allen Nollen
  • Ann Dvorak Biographer Christina Rice on Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel
  • Interview with Mae Murray Biographer Michael G. Ankerich
  • Three Bad Men – Scott Allen Nollen Talks About His Latest Book
  • 8 Questions for Author Dan Van Neste About The Whistler Film Series
  • Talking Boris Karloff with Authorized Biographer Scott Allen Nollen
  • Interview with Michael G. Ankerich Author of Dangerous Curves Atop Hollywood Heels
  • Interview with Linda Alexander, author of Reluctant Witness: Robert Taylor, Hollywood and Communism
  • Interview with Classic Images’ Laura Wagner about her new book

  • See also: Interview with Warren William biographer John Stangeland on Warren-William.com
  • Again, I want more of these–if you have anything classic film related published in book form feel free to get a hold of me for an interview post like those above. I do have to actually read your book to do this, so be sure to have a copy ready to send me if it’s something I don’t already own.

     

    Thanks for the Kind Words!

    “Immortal Ephemera! Loaded with great reviews, articles and interviews (such as with Laura Wagner). Congratulations of such a wonderful site for classic movie lovers.” – Charles Tranberg, author of books on Agnes Moorehead, Marie Wilson, Fred MacMurray and the Thin Man Films.

     

    Classic Movie Book Reviews:

    This section needs to be bulked up, I really thought I was covering more classic film related books that this! It shall be remedied and this text shall then be changed.

    Cliff’s Video Reviews:

    I’ve got to be in the right mood to do one of these, plus have a clean shirt and not too much of a beard. I’m terribly inconsistent in creating videos, though if you ever see a new one pop up be ready for a few more to immediately follow before I tire of the format again.
