Book Presentation:
The generation of the American Baby Boomers is comprised of those born in the years from 1946, following the return home of soldiers who had fought in World War II, through 1964. For purposes of brevity, this book includes Hollywood luminaries born between 1946 and 1960. Most of the subjects profiled made it to the top of their profession without the aid of a major studio. Most of the successful members of this generation of talent formed, at one time or another, their own production companies to make themselves self-sufficient in dealings with film studios. This book includes narrative accounts of 83 Hollywood Baby Boomers including Dan Aykroyd, Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger, Candice Bergen, Jeff Bridges, Cher, Glenn Close, Kevin Costner, Billy Crystal, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ted Danson, Richard Dreyfuss, Sally Field, Richard Gere, Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, Arsenio Hall, Tom Hanks, Mark Harmon, Don Johnson, Tommy Lee Jones, Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange, Madonna, John Malkovitch, Bill Murray, Sean Penn, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dennis Quaid, Christopher Reeve, John Ritter, Roseanne, Kurt Russell, Susan Sarandon, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jimmy Smits, Sissy Spacek, Sylvester Stallone, Meryl Streep, Patrick Swayze, John Travolta, Kathleen Turner, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Williams, Bruce Willis, Oprah Winfrey, Debra Winger, James Woods, and many others.
