Stars in My Eyes is a revealing and entertaining collection of celebrity portraits; rendered both in acute drawings and in finely observed prose. In the 1970s and 1980s; internationally known artist Don Bachardy made portraits from life; depicting the actors; writers; artists; composers; directors; and Hollywood elite that he and his partner Christopher Isherwood knew. He then made detailed notes about these portrait sittings in the journal he has kept for more than forty years. The result is a unique document: we enter the mind of the artist as he records the images and behavior of his celebrity subjectsmdash;from Ruby Keeler and Barbara Stanwyck to Jack Nicholson and Linda Ronstadtmdash;during their often intense collaboration with him. Finalist; Lambda Book Award

Helpful tool for music therapistBy Brittany HarmonThis was great for me to see the variety of song-writing styles used by a variety of therapists who work with a variety of populations ranging from pediatric hospital settings to brain injury patients. I really like that it is a practical book. The authors show how they apply their techniques to actual sessions. That helps me get a clearer picture. That helped me a lot to see what was actually going on. I have not gone through the whole book yet. but with what I have read so far. I am inspired to go to my sessions and try these ideas out.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great.By AngieThank you.
