What took you so long to get here?
Where have you been all my life?
I’ll tell you where I’ve been.  

I’ve been in show business!

Ever since I was a little kid and heard Pinocchio singing, “Hey, diddly-dee, an actor’s life for me,” that’s what I wanted. Well, not to be an actor. 
I got tired of that during my freshman year in college.

So, what to do, what to do. . .

After many years as a Hollywood press agent, I became a writer…movies, stage plays, books.  
Anything that was a challenge.  I love telling stories.

After all, with due respect to actors, directors and other artists, isn’t the only truly creative aspect of the performing arts the written word?     
Everything else is “interpretation”.

On this site you will find links to my many stage plays that are available for licensing, listings of my books that are available for purchasing, some of my screenplays that are available for optioning, plus my blog that will keep you apprised of my various on-going activities and we can get to know each other, maybe too well.

If you’re into DVDs, take a look at my monthly newsletter, BEST BETS ON DVD.

Also, if you have a story that you want told, either in screenplay or book form, I am still a writer-for-hire.  Have Mac-Will Write.

So, please sign the guest book and share your thoughts and comments on my blog.  But, let’s play nice!

Don’t be such a stranger.  Keep coming back!

Finished the First Draft

by Michael B. Druxman on 02/13/16

February 15, 2016


Last week, I finished the first draft in the newest play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS series.  Those last several pages wrote very quickly.  Now, I'm letting the manuscript sit for a couple of weeks, so that when I return to it, I will view it through fresh eyes.

In the meantime, I'm researching the second play in a new trio of plays I'm planning to write, each one a multiple character piece dealing with a particular genre of movie.  

The one I've been working on deals with people who made gangster films.  The next will feature actors of the horror genre and the third will be Westerns.  It was gone for several months following my foot surgery, but now I have my writing mojo back.

There are a couple of new reviews on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page.  They are COP with James Woods and THE BLACK SLEEP with Basil Rathbone.  I have two other films to watch and review, THE DANISH GIRL and THE ROSARY MURDERS, and those reviews should be on the site within the next few days.

Finally, it looks like there is going to be a production of my play, LOMBARD, in upstate New York in August.  Contracts are not signed yet, but the theater is already advertising the play on its website, so it should be a go.

You have a creative week.

Michael
