About
My Hollywood Stories is a collection of informative, historical, educational, funny, exciting, entertaining, sexy, shocking, and tragic stories and anecdotes about famous and not-so-famous Hollywood people--actors, directors, producers, writers, and studio moguls. While it is not a book about acting, it is written by an actor with contributions from various actors, all of whom are writing about other actors. Older readers will take a trip down memory lane, remembering many of the celebrities mentioned, while younger readers will discover Hollywood history from its earlier years to the present. They will learn about the people who were part of the building blocks of the film industry: the highs, the lows, the successes, the failures, and the tragedies.

“The other one, Morris Chang's autobiography. That we got to read. It is currently only in Chinese, but we got to read an English version of it to prep. It's so good. I mean, why did you do that? She was working on it as just a pet project anyway, and accelerated it for us.”
