Lambert, Gavin: Norman's Letter. Postscript by Lady D. London, Hamish Hamilton, 1966.
Guter Zustand. Schutzumschlag mit Randläsuren. - Gavin Lambert (born 23 July 1924 - 17 July 2005) was a British-born screenwriter, novelist and biographer who lived for part of his life in Hollywood. His writing was mainly fiction and nonfiction about the film industry. Personal life: Lambert was educated at the independent school Cheltenham College, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, and at Magdalen College, Oxford, where one of his professors was C. S. Lewis.[1] At Oxford, he befriended filmmakers Karel Reisz and Lindsay Anderson, and they founded a short-lived but influential journal, Sequence, which he co-edited with Anderson. Gambert eventually left Oxford without obtaining a degree. From 1949 to 1955 he edited the periodical Sight and Sound, again with Anderson as a regular contributor. At about the same time Lambert was deeply involved in Britain's Free Cinema movement which called for more social realism in contemporary movies. He also wrote film criticism for The Sunday Times and The Guardian. In 1957 he moved to Hollywood, California, to work as a screenwriter and personal assistant to director Nicholas Ray, whose movie Bitter Victory (1957) he co-wrote. He claimed to be Ray's lover for a period of time. Gavin Lambert became an American citizen in 1964. From 1974 to 1989, he chiefly stayed in Tangier, where he was a close friend of the writer and composer Paul Bowles. He spent the final years of his life in Los Angeles, where he died of pulmonary fibrosis on 17 July 2005. He left behind a brother, niece and nephew, and named Mart Crowley executor of his estate. His papers are currently housed at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University. Writing achievements: Screenplays: Lambert became a notable screenwriter of the Hollywood studio era. In 1954, while still living in England, he wrote his first screenplay, Another Sky, about the sexual awakening of a prim English woman in North Africa. In 1955, he also directed Another Sky in Morocco. This was followed in 1958 by the Hollywood screenplay, Bitter Victory and in 1960 by Sons and Lovers. The latter, for which Lambert gained an Academy Award nomination, is based on a novel by D. H. Lawrence. The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961) adapted a novella by Tennessee Williams on the affairs of an older actress with a young Italian gigolo. As, from the 1920s through the late 1960s, homosexuality was rarely portrayed on the screen, gay screenwriters like Lambert learned to express their personal sensibilities discreetly between the lines of a film. "The important thing to remember about 'gay influence' in movies," observed Gavin Lambert, "is that it was obviously never direct. It was all subliminal. It couldn't be direct because the mass audience would say, Hey, no way." It was not until 1965 that Lambert adapted his own Hollywood insider novel Inside Daisy Clover (1963) for the screen. Clover, starring Natalie Wood and Robert Redford, tells the cautionary tale of a teenage movie star involved in the Hollywood studio system of the 30's and her unhappy marriage to a closeted gay leading man. However, in the film version he was not fully identified as gay because at Redford's request, the husband he played was changed from homosexual to appear as though he might be bisexual. From this time on, Lambert and Wood became lifelong friends. Another of Lambert's screenplays was I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1977), based on a novel by Hannah Green, which describes in layman's terms a teenager's battle with schizophrenia. Later, the author also wrote the scripts for some TV movies such as Second Serve (1986) on transgender tennis player Renee Richards and Liberace: Behind the Music (1988) on gay performer Liberace. In 1997, he contributed to Stephen Frears's film A Personal History of British Cinema. He was heavily quoted in William J. Mann's book, Behind the Screen: How Gays and Lesbians Shaped Hollywood, 1910-1969. Celebrity biographies and non-fiction Lambert was also a noted biographer and novelist, who focused his efforts on biographies of gay and lesbian figures in Hollywood. According to screenwriter and cinema Professor Joseph McBride, he was "a keenly observant, wryly witty chronicler of Hollywood's social mores and artistic achievements." He wrote biographies on some Hollywood stars, such as On Cukor (1972) on film director George Cukor and Norma Shearer: A Life (1990) on the Canadian actress Norma Shearer. His book, Nazimova: A Biography (1997) was the first full-scale account of the private life and acting career of lesbian actress Alla Nazimova. He was the author of the memoir Mainly About Lindsay Anderson (2000) (whose title echoed that of Anderson's own work, About John Ford). He also wrote the book GWTW: The Making of Gone With the Wind (Little, Brown and Company, 1973). Working as a Hollywood screenwriter, Lambert was able to interview and gain personal remembrances of those involved with the classic 1939 film, including dismissed director George Cukor and actress Vivien Leigh (Scarlett O'Hara). His final biography, Natalie Wood: A Life (2004) supplied an insider's look at actress Natalie Wood and chronicled everything concerning her life, since Lambert was a friend of Wood for sixteen years.The book was praised by Natalie Wood's daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner, as "a wonderful biography on my Mom. It will be the definitive biography on my mother." Lambert's biography includes Wood's relationship with Elvis Presley, and interviews with the people who knew Wood best, such as Robert Wagner, Warren Beatty, Paul Mazursky, and Leslie Caron. In his book, Lambert controversially claimed that Wood frequently dated gay and bisexual men, including director Nicholas Ray and actors Nick Adams, Raymond Burr, James Dean, Tab Hunter, and Scott Marlowe. Lambert said he was also involved with Ray and that Wood supported homosexual playwright Mart Crowley (a later lover of Lambert's) in a manner that made it possible for him to write his play, The Boys in the Band (1968). Lambert's final book was The Ivan Moffat File: Life Among the Beautiful and Damned in London, Paris, New York and Hollywood (2004). Novels and short stories: Lambert also wrote seven novels primarily with Hollywood settings, among them The Slide Area: Scenes of Hollywood Life (1959), a collection of seven short stories that portray a bevy of tinsel-town lowlifes, Inside Daisy Clover (1963), The Goodbye People (1971) about Hollywood's beautiful people, and Running Time (1982), a portrait of an indefatigable woman from child starlet to screen goddess, but also a unique life history of the American film industry. In 1996, Lambert wrote the introduction to 3 Plays, a collection of works by his longtime friend, Mart Crowley. wikipedia--wiki-Gavin_Lambert Aus: wikipedia-

Originalausgabe. Signiert von Will McBride! Wie neu/neu. Signiert von Will McBride! Hardback mit Umschlag. 215 x 235 mm. 159 Seiten. Text in deutsch. Zustand: Das Buch außen und innen neu, verlagsfrisch, ungelesen. Der Schutzumschlag neuwertig mit minimalsten Gebrauchsspuren. Ein sensationeller Fund: Bislang unveröffentlichtes Bildmaterial des Fotografen Will McBride zeigt Romy Schneider im Jahr 1964, kurz nach der Trennung von Alain Delon. Rechtzeitig zu ihrem 20. Todestag dokumentiert das Buch in einem ausdrucksstarken Fotoessay die Kompromisslosigkeit und Sinnlichkeit der Schauspielerin, die durch ihren frühen Tod zum Mythos wurde. McBride wurde bekannt durch "Zeig Mal. Show Me." (Martin Parr, The photobook, vol 2, Seite 26/27. Alessandro Bertolotti, Book of Nudes, Seite 205), "Boys" (Alessandro Bertolotti, Book of Nudes, Seite 224) und "Situationen/Objekte. Ein Fotobuch." (Alessandro Bertolotti, Book of Nudes, page 241). "Paris, Frühjahr 1964. Der 33-jährige amerikanische Fotoreporter Will McBride besucht zusammen mit einem Redakteur des Magazins twen Romy Schneider in einem kleinen Hotel in Paris. Sie bleiben den Nachmittag über dort. Romy gibt ein Interview, McBride fotografiert die 25-Jährige im abgedunkelten Zimmer auf dem Sofa, mal im kleinen Schwarzen, mal im weißen Rüschennachthemd oder im seidenen Morgenmantel. "Romy bekennt Farbe" steht später auf der Titelseite der Juniausgabe von twen. Der Beitrag enthält nur wenige der Fotografien, die übrigen wandern ins Archiv. Erst 38 Jahre später holte sie McBride auf Drängen seines Galeristen wieder hervor. Romy zeigt insgesamt 76 der Schwarz-weiß-Aufnahmen, die an diesem Nachmittag entstanden. Dazwischen findet man Zitate ihrer Freunde, Regisseure und Filmpartner. Unter anderem auch von Alain Delon, wegen dem sie 1958 nach Paris gezogen war, der sie aber nur wenige Monate vor diesem Fototermin wegen einer anderen Frau verlassen hatte. Ihre eigentliche Filmkarriere stand zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch bevor. Erste Erfolge konnte sie jedoch schon verzeichnen. Hatte sie doch nach den Sissi-Filmen mit so bedeutenden Regisseuren wie Luchino Visconti, Orson Welles und Otto Preminger gedreht. Die Fotografien zeigen beides: eine geheimnisvolle, schöne Schauspielerin, die sich selbstbewusst und kokett in vielerlei Posen und Verkleidungen vor der Kamera inszeniert, und eine ernste junge Frau mit traurigem Blick, in deren Gesicht man noch einen Schatten der vergangenen Ereignisse zu sehen meint, oder vielleicht auch eine Vorahnung auf das kommende Leid, das Romy in ihrem privaten Leben bis zu ihrem Tod 1982 noch erwartet. McBrides Bilder faszinieren durch ihre Nähe und Intimität. Man hat das Gefühl, selbst mit Romy im Zimmer zu sitzen, spürt beim Betrachten ihres wunderschönen und unergründlichen Gesichtes, ihren Wunsch zu gefallen, ihre Sehnsucht und ihre Verletzlichkeit und gleichzeitig ihre Fähigkeit zur bedingungslosen Hingabe. "Ich liebe es, bis an die Grenzen des Möglichen zu gehen, im Beruf wie im Gefühlsleben. Ich bedaure nichts!", sagte sie einmal, und auch McBrides fotografische Erinnerung an Romy scheint dies zu bezeugen." (Britta Müller)
