James Curtis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After some years in the business world, Jim Curtis decided to become a writer and specialize in biographies. Since then he has turned out superior, often definitive books about Spencer Tracy, W.C. Fields, and Preston Sturges, among others. His latest book is the biography of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, charting the colorful tale of how this "comedy to end all comedies" came to be. It's called Comedy is a Grim Business and Leonard, for one, likes it better than the film itself!

Read excerpt

His creations include the Millennium Falcon and…wait for it… Yoda! Joe Johnston has had a remarkable career in many phases of movie production and has stories to go with all of them. Leonard and Jessie listened in rapt attention, and we suspect you will, too.
