Victoria Riskin, a former President of the Writers Guild of America, takes over the role of "Best Writer of Hollywood Lore" from the late, great Bob Thomas. Her memoir is full of information, charm, humor, and romance. "Faye Wray and Robert Riskin, a Hollywood Memoir" is fascinating and colorful, heady with the ambiance of the Hollywood of the thirties to the fifties...an era of glamor, all-powerful studio moguls, labor strife, WWII, and federal communist witchhunts, all interwoven with a beautiful love story. This is just a terrific book!
Ironically, Fay was orders of magnitude stronger than the mythical beast, King Kong, who made her famous. She managed to endure absolutely awful life situations, any one of which could have killed the average person. An amazing lady.
Love this book. Delivery was quick, the book was well packaged for protection in shipping. Great Fun to read about the by-gone era of Hollywood. Very personal love story about Fay Wray and her husband Robert Riskin. I am 78 years old and so this was very interesting to me. Thanks so much. I recommend the book and think younger generations would enjoy as well.
I tend to wade in warily when I read biographies, most-especially celebrity biographies. What I like in any biography or memoir is not so much that it's just nice tales of people's lives, but that it's as much a history book of the times with "edges" and shadings that give context. And to my great pleasure, this is that. Through a convoluted set of events, I was able to get my hands on an early copy of the book, and it was worth the effort. It's absolutely wonderful. This is not a mere collection of stories by a loving daughter putting her family world in the most-shining light, but rather about the Depression, the Golden Age of Hollywood, war, McCarthyism and more -- at the center of which are the two separate lives of the author's parents until they finally meet. But since that meeting doesn't come until the last third, it's like following a winding path of successes and major hurdles -- weaving with many remarkable and also dark figures -- before getting to that point.Helping too is that it's wonderfully written by a daughter who is herself a terrific, professional writer with great skill and insight. The risk of all memoirs like this is that it will fall into adulation, and in fairness while there are a few times when the book does creep towards that, it consistently pulls itself away by adding context, further depth and then moves on. I sense that's because (beyond being so well-written) underneath it all is the running theme that the best biographies have in making them not just specific on fascinating lives, but universal, asking who we are and how did we get here? The book is a gem.
A loving memoir by the accomplished daughter of two famous parents, woven into the tapestry of the early days of glitz and glamour of Hollywood, followed by events of WW2 in which her father, Robert Riskin, the genius screenwriter of such brilliant films as "It Happened One Night' and "Meet John Doe", was an active participant in fighting the Nazis, and her devoted mother, Fay Wray ("King Kong") who acted in 77 films from 1925 to 1958. The thread of their love story, followed by tragedy, so beautifully and vividly rendered against the background of life among the stars in Los Angeles, the studio system, and world events reads like a compelling novel whose sterling characters come alive on the page and will remain in your memory forever.--Judith Kanner
A well written and frequently witty duo biography of acress Fay Wray and her husband, writer Robert Riskin. Written by their daughter, Victoria Riskin; the book is a love letter to the author's parents and their places in Golden Age Hollywood that doesn't shy away from discussing their flaws or their romantic entanglements before their marriage. A top notch addition to the History of old Hollywood.
For those of us who are movie buffs, this book provides a firsthand glimpse into the Golden Age of Hollywood. Beautifully written, the book seeks less to idolize these two great talents than to portray their humanity. And who better to do that than their daughter. With humor, insight, honesty and love the author provides an intimate and in-depth understanding of Wray and Riskin as both individuals and a couple. It does not disappoint.
I loved this book! It made me laugh and cry. Fascinating stories that reconstruct a long-gone and much missed era. A must for anyone with the slightest in the subject. The author's evocation of bygone days combined with her personal story gives the book much greater emotive content than would a history of her parents alone.I particularly admired her father’s letter to her mother of March 12, 1944. So perceptive, thoughtful and observant. Such integrity.I greatly enjoyed getting to know the author's parents as real people as well as the author herself. A great read.
