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!

It's Has Been Awhile....

by Michael B. Druxman on 02/03/17

February 3, 2017

I know.  I've been away for awhile, but I really didn't realize how long I'd been away.

So, Happy New Year!

Actually, I really haven't had much to talk about.  I've been working on a new play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS series.  It's finished now, and should be available in both paperback and Kindle editions on Amazon sometime early next week.

The name of the four-person play (with music) is AVA & HER GUYS, and the characters are Ava Gardner, Frank Sinatra, Mickey Rooney and Artie Shaw.  I'm rather pleased with it, and I hope you will be, too.  Performance rights are available.

I have two other books coming out later this year.  One is a collection of interviews that I did for Coronet magazine back in the 1970s with various movie stars, plus outtakes from interviews I did with various film folk for the show business books I wrote back in that decade.

The other book is a new novel, which I will tell you about later.

I'm looking at some major surgery around the end of this month, so I may or may not be posting again for awhile.  The doctor assures me that it's no big deal and, in fact, my wife had a similar surgery about a year and a half ago, and she's very happy with the result.  Please think positive thoughts.

There are a couple of new reviews on the Best Bets on DVD site, which you can access by clicking on the link in the Introduction section of this page.  They are:  LOVING and MILDRED PIERCE, so please take a look.

You have a creative week.

Michael
