Inside Scoop
Articles About Acting and Writing by Hollywood Insiders and Published Authors

Edited by Marilyn Peake



      Many of the articles in this book were originally published in The Golden Goblet newsletter.  Here you will find sage advice to help you in both writing and acting, from articles to interviews. If you are trying to break into either field, you are sure to find helpful insights here.

The first chapter is a lesson in patience gleaned from the personal experience of John Klawitter when he worked at Hanna-Barbera Productions.  There is a chapter on promoting your published book, and if acting is your chosen field, you will find advice on how to break into this tough branch of the entertainment business.  The real life spiritualist behind the TV show Medium is the subject of an interview by Allison Dubois, then Marilyn Peake interviews Carole Whang Schutter about a screenplay she collaborated on for the movie September Dawn.  Are you interested in becoming an in-demand background actor?  Movie and TV extras are always in demand and it is an exciting part time job for seniors or retirees. Jo Kelly is the author of an article discussing how to break in as an extra.

Whatever your interest in the many segments of the entertainment industry, you are sure to find this book helpful and entertaining.  It is the second in a series by Marilyn Peake and Double Dragon Publishing.
