Texas would not be Texas without the formidable women of its past. Beneath the sunbonnets; Stetsons or high-fashion couture; the women of the Lone Star State carved out ranches; breathed new life into spreads and expanded acreage when husbands; sons and fathers fell. Throughout the centuries; the women of Texass ranches defended home and hearth with cannon and shot. They rescued hostages. They nurtured livestock through hard winters and long droughts and drove them up the cattle trails. They built communities and saw to it that faith and education prevailed for their children and for those of others. Join author Carmen Goldthwaite in an inspiring survey of fierce Lone Star ladies.

I got the suggestion to read this book from another acting book and after looking at other reviews I thought it would be a good buy. Its an easy read; you can probably get through it in an afternoon if you wanted. It really is motivational and helps you understand what it takes to get going what will be required as an actor in Hollywood. I hope to find more books like this!!!2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very; very; very; basic infoBy Erynn DaltonThis book contains nothing but very obvious information about becoming an actor and living in LA. Some of the info includes earth-shattering advice like showing up for auditions on time; not being lazy and sitting around on the couch all day; etc. Basic common sense; really. Save up your money and go buy some nice headshots instead! :)1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Must-Read; from the casting perspectiveBy Nicky HawthorneStop what youre doing; get your hands on a copy of this book and youll thank me. Or more accurately; youll thank Michael Wallach for sharing his wealth of Hollywood knowledge. Knowledge hes gleaned first hand from 25+ years in the business. The best part; its not in some sort of hoity toity I know more than you code; but rather from the prospective of two; very relateable actors new to L.A. characters. Whether youre brand new to L.A. or have been here for years; youll find immediately applicable information in this book. Having helped cast 15+ feature films myself; this book is a must-read for anyone looking to get arrested in Tinseltown.
