Publisher's Summary:

Fred MacMurray was one of the most durable stars in motion picture history. Fred arrived in Hollywood in 1934 and within a year he was one of the top leading men in the movie industry. He was the leading actor or one of the leads in films through 1973 when Walt Disney Studios released his final starring role in a motion picture, Charley and the Angel. Thirty-nine years - five separate decades. Few stars have equaled that distinction. Of course every star career has its peaks and valleys. The initial peak of Fred's stardom was from his days as a Paramount leading man, beginning in 1935 and running roughly until the end of the Second World War. Like many aging stars, the post-war years were a mixed bag for Fred. Public tastes were changing and the kind of frothy, romantic comedies which had been his forte were going out of fashion. But he persevered and continued to do leading roles in a variety of pictures and from time to time found a film which registered strongly with film audiences and critics alike, such as The Egg and I (1947), and especially The Caine Mutiny (1954). By the mid 1950s Fred was appearing, increasingly, in that favorite genre of the aging leading man - the western film. Eight of ten films he made between 1955 and 1960 were westerns, not Fred's favorite genre. But they did keep his name before the public. Then in 1959, Fred began the second peak of his career thanks to Walt Disney, who cast Fred in his studios first live action comedy film, The Shaggy Dog. Incredibly this film which was made for under $1 million became the third biggest box office hit of that year, and Fred found a new audience. Over the next several years, Fred starred in a series of hugely popular family films for the Walt Disney Studios. Then in 1960, Fred did something that solidified his new family friendly image. He accepted the lead in a new television series called My Three Sons.

Publisher's Summary:

The story of NASCAR's legendary racer - newly revised! Dale Earnhardt Jr.s name virtually assured that his life would not be ordinary. Over the past decade, he has fulfilled that destiny. His father, one of the most successful drivers in the history of international motorsports, gave his son more than his name. Dale Earnhardt Sr. placed Dale Jr. in position to follow the footsteps and tire tracks he had left from Darlington to Daytona, from coast to coast, from one championship to the next. Entering 2001, Junior was set to turn the sport on its ear. Instead, his world was rocked in the first race of the season when Dale Sr., racing behind him in a wild finish to the Daytona 500, crashed into the outside wall and was killed. The racing world mourned, and Juniors life changed in many ways.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Out of the Shadow of Greatness tells the story of this remarkable young mans journey from teenage dreamer to Winston Cup winner, from Street Stock racer to 200 mph superstar, from son of the greatest to a champion in his own right. Against the backdrop of one of sports biggest tragedies, he continues to carry the Earnhardt name to new heights. This newly revised edition is a must for any NASCAR fan.

Editorial Reviews:

Having the name Earnhardt basically guaranteed Dale Jr.'s eventual career, as both his grandfather and father were NASCAR drivers. Michael Hembree charts the life of the racing dynasty scion, which is given a crisply professional performance by Robert Sams, whose style is most reminiscent of an old newsreel. This only serves to highlight how much of the Earnhardt story already seems like classic American lore, from his father's tragic death to his own emergence as a prominent racer. Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: Out of the Shadow of Greatness is an in-depth biography of one the world's best and most beloved drivers.

Title: Redeeming Features

Subtitle: A Memoir

Author: Nicholas Haslam

Narrator: John Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-18-12

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

With Redeeming Features, set mainly in New York, London, Arizona, and various parts of Europe, British designer Nicholas Haslam has written, with great charm and passion, a completely engaging memoir about pretty much everyone you have ever heard of anywhere in the 20th and 21st centuries. Like a "WASP Zelig", from the 1950s until 2008, the frenetically social and ebullient Haslam has managed, according to Vanity Fair, to "pop up from decade to decade alongside some of the most fascinating people in our cultural history."

Now a successful designer with clients from Moscow to Marrakesh, in the 1950s, fresh out of art school, he started learning at the knees of such aristocratic bohemians as Lady Diana Cooper and photographer, designer, and diarist Cecil Beaton. Of course he also came across Chips Channon, actress Tilly Losch, designer Oliver Messel, and photographer Anthony Armstrong-Jones, Lucian Freud and David Hockney. Haslam is a brilliant mimic with a great eye, so aside from revealing people's speech eccentricities, he gives you a perfect description of a room where a given social gathering is taking place.

In the 60s he was working at various English newspapers and British Vogue before going to New York with British photographer David Bailey (Antonioni's Blow-Up was about Bailey) and model Jean Shrimpton. There he worked for the art director at American Vogue in the days of Diana Vreeland, and Haslam gives a lively rundown on that office and its editors. In non-working hours he was hanging out with Djuna Barnes and Cole Porter, Tallulah Bankhead, Joan Crawford and Jane Russell, with Dorothy Parker, ballet star Edward Villella, and John Richardson.

By 1963 Haslam was art director of Huntington Hartford's magazine Show, spent time at the Factory, and starred in the Warhol film, Kiss, with Baby Jane Holzer. He was beginning to decorate and continued when, in 1966, he bought a ranch near Phoenix to breed and show Arabian horses. For four years he commuted to Los Angeles, working as a photographer for such film producers as Dominick Dunne and decorating for Natalie Wood, among others.

Once back in England in 1972, he wrote a column for David Bailey's Ritz, and NH Design took off, with such clients as Rod Stewart, Rupert Everett, Bryan Ferry, and Ringo Starr. He also designed restaurants, nightclubs, and stores, as well as parties for the Prince of Wales and various Rothschilds.

Redeeming Features is a unique picture of the cultural scene of the second half of the 20th century. Haslam is a gifted storyteller whose wit and enthusiasm make this a compelling read.
