74452 BARBRA STREISAND by Nick Yapp
Barbra Streisand grossed record takings on tour at the age of 64, and America’s most successful female singer-songwriter is as popular as ever as she enters her eighth decade. The Brooklyn-born singer made a feature of her unusual looks, her Jewish background, her love of glamorous clothes and her
commitment to radical political causes. She learnt her trade singing in local clubs and on the radio. Once she had played the role of Miss Marmelstein in I Can Get It For You Wholesale, her Broadway career was assured. This huge book full of wonderful photos follows the high spots of Streisand’s career, including Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, the musical that launched her face onto the cover of Time magazine, her iconic role as the wacky student in What’s Up, Doc?, and her performance as the high-class call girl Claudia Draper in Nuts. Streisand’s superb fashion sense surfaces again and again in these stills. 176pp, lavishly illustrated in colour and b/w. ONLY £6

74478 DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GRIND YOU
DOWN by Robert Sellers The book is subtitled ‘How One Generation of British Actors Changed the World’. Alan Bates, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Tom Courtney, Albert Finney, Richard Harris, Peter O’Toole, Robert Shaw and Terrence Stamp were all rightly hailed as a new kind of star. The creative talents behind the Royal
Court like John Osborne and director Tony Richardson opened the floodgates for Hollywood cash to flood in to the British film industry and the new wave of gritty realistic films led on to ‘My Beautiful Launderette’ and ‘The Full Monty’ much later. Here then is the story of that remarkable group of actors who in the short years from 1956 to 1964 changed the cultural landscape of Britain. 425pp, paperback, archive photos. £8.99 NOW £3

74483 FIFTH AVENUE, 5A.M.: Audrey Hepburn & Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Sam Wasson
The wholesome Audrey Hepburn, who started out as a ballerina, was second choice after Monroe for the hooker Holly Golightly, and the poise and grace she brought to the role delighted some and shocked others. Truman Capote felt that his novel had been completely
sanitised, but from a feminist point of view the film was revolutionary. Givenchy’s ground-breaking Little Black Dress emphasized the contours of the female body rather than remodelling it to impossible proportions, and the simplicity of its design brought the glamour of black within the range of ordinary women for the rest of the century and beyond. The film was a hit in spite of massive problems. Filming among the Tiffany diamonds meant a big security operation and a difficult acting area, and initially Hepburn was nervous about the director Blake Edwards’s relaxed, improvisational style. There were struggles over Mancini’s score, and fights over whether Hepburn should sing “Moon River” herself. Hepburn disliked her leading man George Peppard, who referred to her as “the happy nun”. 231pp, photos.

74607 BABY, LET’S PLAY HOUSE by Alanna Nash
Subtitled ‘The Life of Elvis Presley Through the Women Who Loved Him’, this biography is the first life of the King to concentrate on this strangely overlooked aspect of the man. The book explores Elvis Presley’s love affairs with among others Ann-Margret who was really the love of his life, Linda Thompson, Barbara Leigh and Cybil Shepherd, as well as his friendships with actresses like Raquel Welch and Barbara Eden. It also spotlights important early girlfriends and the women who dared to turn him down including Cher, Petula Clarke and Karen Carpenter as well as two women who taught him the dance moves he used on stage. Blowing away the polite, buttoned-up crooners by harnessing the feral sexual energy of the Blues, Presley’s rock ‘n’ roll scandalised America and Britain. Here is the charming but wounded Lothario who slept with scores of women but seemed unable to sustain a lasting romantic relationship. 684 pages, many photos.

Hollywood Legend by Jessica Bailey Sex appeal, magnetism and a huge on-screen persona, John Wayne had it all. He went on to hold the record for the most leading man roles - 142 - by an actor.

73630 TAINTED BY EXPERIENCE: A Life in the Arts by John Drummond
There are many words that can be used to describe Sir John Drummond (1934-2006), famed arts administrator and ex-controller of BBC Radio 3, but we like “outspoken” the best. Outspoken, as in referring to Tony Blair as a “professional Philistine”, and Nigel Kennedy as akin to Liberace. Drummond held an unshakeable belief in the importance of the arts and lived a life of heroic defiance of those who would “dumb down”. Photos, 478pp paperback.

73883 NOBODY’S PERFECT: BILLY WILDER: A Personal Biography by Charlotte Chandler
Interviewing Wilder in his nineties, Charlotte Chandler builds up a fascinating picture of the Hollywood legend and his work with the greats such as Garbo and Bogart, not to mention the trio of Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. Wilder had never heard the expression film noir, but Double Indemnity, with a screenplay by Raymond Chandler, was immediately hailed as one of the classics of the genre. Wilder then made a documentary about Nazi concentration camps following his mother’s death in Auschwitz. Sunset Boulevard was originally conceived by Wilder and Brackett as a comedy starring Mae West. 352 page softback, filmography, photos.

75073 HISTORY’S NAUGHTY
BITS by Karen Dolby From classical philosophers to medieval popes, 18th century queens to 16th century emperors, do-gooding doctors to proselytising politicians and powerful presidents to the meek man in the street, they were all, in one way and another ‘at it’. If you find this hard to believe, then delve into a revelatory volume that uses letters,
diaries and court reports to shine a bright light into some of history’s shadiest and naughtiest corners. It proves beyond a doubt that the Swinging Sixties had nothing on what had happened in the centuries before them. Infamous figures such as the Borgias, the Marquis de Sade and Sir Richard Burton (not the film star but the translator of the Kama Sutra) are just the start. Cartoonists such as James Gillray were not exaggerating in their salacious portrayal of the naughty bits. 224 scandalous pages, illus.

44717 HAND-REARED BOY by Brian W. Aldiss
Rejected by 13 publishers, the award winning writer of science fiction Brian Aldiss eventually had his very naughty erotic novel first published in 1970 when it was long listed for the Lost Booker Prize. It is an original, delightfully funny description of the young Horatio Stubbs’s burgeoning sexuality. Circumcised rather crudely, here is a young boy who is awakened gently by the family’s 19 year old maid, shares beds with boys at his school, talks about class, the downtrodden, art, sex and socialism: ‘Stubbs, old man, the upper classes and the aristocracy absolutely hate the bloody guts of the middle classes!’ Crude, rude, funny and of its time.
