Palace of ExcessBy WoodchuckchuckIf Hollywood is the Palace of Excess and the 80s was the Decade of Excess. what does that make Hollywood in the 80s? - a great subject for a book. particularly if that book is written by someone with a bon-mot-a-minute style and an intimate knowledge of some of the most outsize characters ever to roam a boardroom. barroom or bordello. Its all here. the monster egos and world-class connivers. the chisellers. hondlers. gonifs. four-flushers and even - hold your hats - a few genuine talents. Mixing in a narrative of his own seduction by the siren call of showbiz. Stadiem unleashes his patented blend of sociological analysis. laser-sharp observation. and scintillating wit (add a dash of schadenfreude). making this book a constant. non-stop pleasure to read.5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. "That was California. which was on the cutting edge. and this was America."By Amelia GremelspacherAmerica was fascinated with the movies but didnt so much like "liberal. Jewish. bleeding heart. foreign-seeming. and overwhelmingly Democratic Hollywood." This story opens in 1980 when Reagan was forming his "kitchen cabinet." A cabal of Republican best friends who coincidentally also ruled the newly minted Republican Hollywood.This book reads more like a "Vanity Fair" story than a tabloid. Although the stories have some lurid content. the emphasis is not on the sensational. rather on the workings of excess behind the entertainment industry. The numerous cameos reveal humanizing elements of the wealthy. who are indeed different than we. Actually my favorite one occurs early in the book is about Nancy Reagan and her posse of blonde. chic. skinny blondes. The maitre d had to keep a cheat sheet with pictures to make sure he had the right power luncher.This book offers an enticing look on now money. cronyism. and power entwine to dominate the movies and TV shows we all watch. The trail of money is deeply explored and the results are stranger than fact.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Real ThingBy Shirley SacksBringing them all down to size. Stadiem does it to perfection. He knows who is who in the zoo. and more. Its gossipy and makes you wonder about the world and how awful it really is. Or is it? If you a cynical. this will make your even more so. This is insider stuff. from someone who views the insides. I believe happily. from the dark wings.
