Reseña del editor
Did you ever wonder what it was like to be a part of showbiz history? Marilyn Monroe babysitting your brothers. Ethel Merman teaching you how to make martinis. Paul Newman giving you acting tips in your parents’ living room Fielding all those annoying telephone calls from reporters the night your mom won the Oscar. Welcome to the world of Luke Yankee, son of Broadway and Hollywood actress Eileen Heckart. In JUST OUTSIDE THE SPOTLIGHT, this masterful storyteller pulls the curtain aside to reveal a world you’ve only dreamed about - full of showbiz gossip and behind-the-scenes tales of all your favorite celebrities. This book includes never-before seen photos of stars like Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Lucille Ball Clark gable, Lyndon Johnson, plus scores of humorous and heartfelt stories. Luke Yankee, a director, actor and playwright in Los Angeles, wrote JUST OUTSIDE THE SPOTLIGHT after his mother, Oscar, Tony, Emmy winner and Theatre Hall of Famer, Eileen Heckart passed away three years ago. One of the most respected character actresses in show business and worked with every major star of the past half century, from Lillian Gish to Ellen Degeneres. “I realized I had this incredibly rich legacy of Broadway and Hollywood memorabilia and I had to do something with it,” says Luke. “My mother was not a household name and never wanted to be. But everybody she knew and worked with was one.” Here are some of the hilarious and touching moments Luke Yankee shares: · How Marilyn Monroe saved Eileen Heckart from being trampled by an angry mob. · How Eileen Heckart inadvertently “outed” Ellen Degeneres. · How Luke and his mother were enraged by a local caterer named Martha Stewart. · How Marlene Dietrich berated Heckart two hours after winning the Oscar. · How Lucille Ball offered to buy off Heckart’s husband in order to make her a star. JUST OUTSIDE THE SPOTLIGHT is also a loving tribute to a bygone era. With a foreword by Mary Tyler Moore, this book will be a “must-read” for anyone who loves Broadway and Hollywood – and any son or daughter who loves their mother.
