Posted on December 21, 2011 | Leave a comment

Filmmaker and writer Guy Magar has more than 100 film credits including episodes of series La Femme Nikita, Sliders, The A-Team, Blue Thunder, and Dark Avenger. In 1995 he was nominated for a Golden Reel Award for his television work on the series Nowhere Man.

Here Magar does a guerrilla reading from his Hollywood-behind-the-scenes book, Kiss Me Quick Before I Shoot. In the book, he tells stories from learning that his first producer turned out to be a Mafia assassin, to the time he almost accidentally decapitated a young Drew Barrymore.

Manny Pacheco  wants to make sure you remember. Here he is reading from his book, Forgotten Hollywood, Forgotten History. It’s a book about the people from the Golden Age of Hollywood that sometimes are forgotten – the supporting actors who helped make the leads look so good. Pacheco is a radio and TV personality from the OC whose voice you might recognize from all sorts of ads.  Forgotten Hollywood is his first book.

Recorded at the Latino Book and Family Festival in October 2010.

GuerrillaReads No. 13

Posted on October 12, 2010 | 1 comment

Lucky number 13 on GuerrillaReads is Kathy Charles, reading from her book John Belushi Is Dead at the West Hollywood Book Fair. Here’s Kathy talking about her book in a recent interview:

I’ve always been fascinated by stories about young people who form unlikely bonds with their elders….  I love the idea that two people can come from such dramatically different backgrounds and forge such a strong bond. People connect in their hearts. Sometimes age is just irrelevant.

This book was originally published in Australia under a different title, but it’s made its way across the equator and halfway around the globe, where it’s now available from MTV Books.
