About this product
Product Information
Starting with their award winning profiles of Fred Astaire in 1980, Joan Kramer and David Heeley documented the lives and careers of many Hollywood legends, establishing a reputation for finding the un-findable, persuading the reluctant, and maintaining unique relationships long after the end credits rolled. These were recognized as high-quality, definitive film portraits, which revitalized the genre and made it a mainstay of television programming. This is their insiders' view of the famous and the powerful: Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Lew Wasserman, Ronald Reagan, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Jane Fonda, Richard Dreyfuss, Audrey Hepburn, and Bette Davis, among others. Kramer and Heeley's behind the scenes stories of the productions and the personalities involved are amusing, sometimes moving, often revealing, and have never been told before.

Reviews
Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, and former MCA/Universal Studios Chairman, Lew Wasserman, to name just a few, were known for fiercely protecting their privacy, trusting very few, especially those in media. Joan Kramer and David Heeley not only succeeded in working with them, but also developed long-term personal relationships with these--and many other--Hollywood legends, which is rare, almost unheard of. Over the years, they've shared fascinating and behind-the-scenes stories about so many icons they were lucky enough to know. I'm certain that the readers of this book will enjoy the many "peeks behind the curtain" their book reveals., A treasure trove of untold stories, culled from more than thirty years of candid conversations and unguarded moments with America's brightest stars and most powerful politicians. In the Company of Legends serves up one startling revelation after another., A treasure trove of untold stories, culled from more than thirty years of candid conversations and unguarded moments with America's brightest stars and most powerful politicians. In the Company of Legends serves up one startling revelation after another., This delicious account of the greatly talented and productive Kramer and Heeley's adventures, misadventures, headaches, and thrills among their illustriously famous subjects is a joy to read. The quirks and maddening eccentricities of such greatly gifted giants as Frank Sinatra, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, et al., are all here on delightfully entertaining-and often startling- display. In the Company of Legends is so hard to put down I ate with one hand while reading it., Thank you, David Heeley and Joan Kramer for giving us one of the best reasons ever for curling up with a book. After their treating us to some of the best, most literate and entertaining hours of television (includingKatharine Hepburn: All About Me, Bacall on Bogart, The John Garfield Story, The Adventures of Errol Flynn and numerous other TV specials) they now offer us a book I never wanted to end, chock-full of constant surprises. In the Company of Legends is a king's ransom of fascinating stories about colorful, bigger than life people we know but don't know. The big bonus is that it's a book about dazzling personalities told by people who actually knew the celebrities they write about, worked with them and, further, socialized with them, aware of the their foibles and strengths from first-hand knowledge, not heresay. That's something both rare and refreshing in books today. This one deserves a high spot on your "must read" booklist for the year., I've been involved in many of Joan's and David's projects over the years and they've told me fascinating stories about the many celebrities they've worked with, shedding new light on people I thought I knew. Now they are sharing these stories publicly for the first time. Anyone who goes to the movies, the theater, and watches television will treasure this book as much as I do., Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, and former MCA/Universal Studios Chairman, Lew Wasserman, to name just a few, were known for fiercely protecting their privacy, trusting very few, especially those in media.
