“I loved it. This is a book I would like to have written myself. I could kick myself for not keeping my own diary.” – Richard Dreyfuss.

Bob Balaban plays Francois Truffaut’s interpreter in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Since all journalists and writers were barred during the shooting of the movie, his diary is the only on the spot account of both the making of the movie and, more importantly, the off-screen lives of the people involved in this fantastic project.

I Am Not Ashamed

By Barbara Payton.

ASIN: B00F3U2514

Published by Holloway House.

Published 1963.

Description:

This is the true story of Barbara Payton … her bold, shockingly frank, completely uninhibited autobiography. She sold both her body and her soul to achieve the dizzying heights of stardom … but she also planted the seeds of her degradation and destruction!

When her $10,000-a-week silver screen lifestyle was torn from her grasp, it left her to ultimately sell her body on the Sunset Strip for $5 a night and seek out an existence on cheap wine and the comfort of strangers. Was she a sexual revolutionary ahead of her time, or a lady of the night whose price merely dropped with her once-stunning looks? You decide, as you read this shocking true story …
