Publisher's Summary:

Learn about Leah Remini and the Church of Scientology in a fraction of the time it takes to listen to the actual book!

In Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, Leah Remini tells her listeners about a list she made which includes the things in her life that she is not proud of. The items on this list include cheating, lying, and not being considerate of others. She even goes on to include her family members and the problems they had with each other. Remini has a good reason for including this list of things she is not proud of in the beginning of her book. She is worried that the Church of Scientology might make these faults known to the world in an attempt to defame her character.

Because of this, Remini wanted to be the first one to tell her story to the world. Some of the things that she lists as being problems in her past are still plaguing her in the present moment. Remini has been a member of the Church of Scientology for about 30 years and out of all this time the Church of Scientology was unable to teach her how to eliminate her negative faults.

not the book !!!!

I think charging customers the same for a summary book is a rip off. I bought this by mistake thinking it was the original due to it costing me one full credit. Very disappointed

Title: Groucho Marx

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

Born Julius Marx in 1890, the brilliant comic actor who would later be known as Groucho was the most verbal of the famed comedy team the Marx Brothers, his broad slapstick portrayals elevated by ingenious wordplay and double entendre. In his spirited biography of this beloved American iconoclast, Lee Siegel views the life of Groucho through the lens of his work on stage, screen, and television. The author uncovers the roots of the performer's outrageous intellectual acuity and hilarious insolence toward convention and authority in Groucho's early upbringing and Marx family dynamics. The first critical biography of Groucho Marx to approach his work analytically, this fascinating study draws unique connections between Groucho's comedy and his life, concentrating primarily on the brothers' classic films as a means of understanding and appreciating Julius the man. Unlike previous uncritical and mostly reverential biographies, Siegel's "bio-commentary" makes a distinctive contribution to the field of Groucho studies by attempting to tell the story of his life in terms of his work and vice versa.

Critic Reviews:

"A perceptive, though dark, portrait." (Kirkus)

Members Reviews:

Wonderfull book!

I learned a lot about Groucho Marx and his brothers and their style of comedy. The author puts their comedy into perspective of its time and shows how later generations of comedians drew on the innovations introduced by the Marx brother.

Nobody cares about your notes

Probably one of the worst biographies I am ever listen to. The author is repetitive and his notes unnecessary. There is no question that this author could have cut at least six hours from this book just by not giving the history of schizophrenia, prostitution,

Title: A Real American Character: The Life of Walter Brennan

Subtitle: Hollywood Legends Series

Author: Carl Rollyson

Narrator: Neil Reeves

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-23-15

Publisher: Carl Rollyson

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

Walter Brennan (1894-1974) was one of the greatest character actors in Hollywood history. He won three Academy Awards and became a national icon starring as Grandpa in The Real McCoys. He appeared in over 200 motion pictures and became the subject of a Norman Rockwell painting, which celebrated the actor's unique role as the voice of the American Western. His life journey from Swampscott, Massachusetts, to Hollywood, to a 12,000-acre cattle ranch in Joseph, Oregon, is one of the great American stories.

In the first biography of this epic figure, Carl Rollyson reveals Brennan's consummate mastery of virtually every kind of role while playing against and often stealing scenes from such stars as Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart, and John Wayne. Rollyson fully explores Brennan's work with Hollywood's greatest directors, such as Howard Hawks, John Ford, and Fritz Lang. As a father and grandfather, Brennan instilled generations of his family with an outlook on the American Dream that remains a sustaining feature of their lives today. His conservative politics, which grew out of his New England upbringing and his devout Catholicism, receive meticulous attention and a balanced assessment in A Real American Character.

Written with the full cooperation of the Brennan family and drawing on material in archives from every region of the United States, this new biography presents an artist and family man who lived and breathed an American idealism that made him the real McCoy.

Members Reviews:

Not very interesting

Not a good read. To much of the book is devoted to describing the movies which he was in and relatively little of interest about the man himself. But, then, maybe he just was not that interesting of a person. He did know a lot of fellow actors, but he says very little about them as persons.

and for good reason. Also

Walter Brennan was in many films over many years, many B grade, where he had a minor part. The book goes into too much detail on the plot of these movies, which have been long forgotten, and for good reason. Also, there is the usual name dropping at parties and other occasions. It spends too little time on Brennan's personal life and life style. I found the book boring and had to skip through much of it looking for substance. ..MAT Sun City Center FL.

A character actor who was the star.

"The Life of Walter Brennan" is a reasonably well written book covering the career of a man who made his acting reputation from well portrayed character roles. You'll learn interesting details of Brennan's career and his ways of creating memorable characters. This biography made me appreciate Walter Brennan the actor. In many instances his characterizations outshine the star!

Good read.

I liked the book, Brennan was a really good actor and person and family man. Didn' know he was so versatile and could play older men when he was young.

Great Actor from the 30's through end on 60's

Fun book to read, Walter Brennan did so much more than the TV Series 'The Real McCoys'..Check out the 1940 film "The Westerners" where Mr. Brennan plays Judge Roy Bean....I believe he received an Oscar for that movie..

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-23-15

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

This story is actually a daily account of a naturalist's years of observing and writing about zoological and insect life on her estate. It takes place in the late 1890s at The Grove, Stanmore, in England, Mrs. Brightwen's very beautiful and secluded estate. Here, there were woods and shrubberies, a lake, and a large garden that offered a field for Mrs. Brightwen's zoological and insect observations. It was not, however, until her 60th year that she began to be a writer. Mrs. Brightwen became recognized as one of the most popular naturalists of her day. She published more than six books related to wild nature and plant life. Inmates of my House and Garden (1895) is considered to be the best of her books.

Title: Do You Know Me?

Author: Tony Roberts

Narrator: Tony Roberts

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-06-15

Publisher: Tony Roberts

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

This book is an anecdotal memoir spanning Tony Roberts' 55 years as a professional actor. During that time, Roberts has appeared in 23 Broadway shows, 25 films, three television series, and recorded numerous audiobooks and voice-over commercials. He explores the sources of his ambition and describes the ups and downs of a career in show business. While not a "how-to" book, it provides the inspirational guidance taught by one of America's greatest acting teachers: Alvina Krause. Oh, there's also a lot of stuff about Woody Allen and other people you've probably heard of.

Roberts has been in six films for Allen and five Broadway hits for David Merrick. He has been nominated twice for a Tony Award and was the winner of the London Critics Poll Award for his performance in the hit Promises, Promises in the West End. His other Broadway credits include The Royal Family; Xanadu; The Tale of the Allergist's Wife; Cabaret; Victor/Victoria; Jerome Robbins' Broadway; They're Playing Our Song; Absurd Person Singular; Arsenic and Old Lace; Sugar; How Now, Dow Jones; Barefoot in the Park; and a dozen others. He appeared on screen in the Academy Award-winning Annie Hall, and in Play It Again, Sam; Serpico; The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3; Amityville 3D; Radio Days; 18 Again; Star Spangled Girl; Switch; and many others. His television output includes Arthur Miller's The American Clock, Saul Bellow's Seize the Day, and his own series for NBC, Rosetti & Ryan. Mr. Roberts has recorded more than 50 audiobooks, including the popular Stuart Woods detective series featuring Stone Barrington. A New Yorker by birth, he graduated from The High School of Music & Art, and Northwestern University.

Critic Reviews:

"[T]he two-time Tony nominee explains all with honesty and humor in his delightful autobiography Do You Know Me? Throughout Roberts' backstage adventures, his undying passion for the craft only grows stronger - showing you just how technical of an actor Roberts is. You'll learn a lot, while also laughing as Roberts dishes on working with Woody Allen in six major motion pictures (including Annie Hall) and the writer's first Broadway venture, Don't Drink the Water. Moreover, Roberts' touching account of the serious head injury he suffered a few years back will bring tears to your eyes. This legendary performer is hard not to love." (Dave Quinn, NBC)

Life a Working Actor

Oddly enough I found Tony Roberts memoir after I listened to his narration of another audiobook and I was just scrolling through to find any other books he narrated. Since I have watched his movies for years and listened to his voice on my iPod I immediately bought this memoir.

Like most memoirs this one begins with childhood, goes through education, and onto a fascinating working life. Mr. Roberts parents and grandparents are interesting people on their own account. I expect leaving Russia when they did would make a great novel on its on.

But I think the best thing about this memoir is that without one "tell all story", not so much as a drop of scandal, not one whine or complaint about fellow actors, the story is so good that I truly did not turn it off until it ended. Mr. Roberts has worked with some very famous, and in some cases notorious people, but we only hear about the work.
