From short-lived celebrity marriages to athlete nicknames, here is a trivia book that eclipses all others. It isnt useless information, nor is it the conventional trivia that you might expect to find anywhere else. In short, it is all the stuff that you didnt even know that you wanted to know. Fortunately we have made it our business to know what you didnt know that you wanted to know in order to include it into this book. Choosing material that we anticipate you didnt know you wanted to know was a significant challenge. We were required to make a distinction between four things: stuff you wanted to know, but knew you wanted to know; things that you didnt know but knew you didnt know and didnt want to; things you didnt know, didnt know you didnt know, but wouldnt want to even if you did; and most elusive of all, things you didnt know you even wanted to know, but would soon discover that you wanted to, once you knew them. It is this stuff that appears in this book. If there is anything that you feel strongly that you now know you didnt know you wanted to know that isnt here, please let us know.
This book's 140 A-Z entries include synopses, film stills, and production photos.
I chose to use the image of a tile as the cover of Fortuna because, for me, that's how the story began - with a small piece of red tile that washed up on the beach on Long Beach Island, New Jersey in 1970. More than half a century before, the Fortuna, loaded with roofing tiles for ballast, set sail on a two-year voyage to New York. Just short of her final destination, she became one more shipwreck off the coast of Long Beach Island. Those tiles were her calling cards. Fortuna almost ended the same as it started. While photographing the tile for the cover of this book, a huge wave came in and washed the tile back into the sea. But, like all the other pieces of this story that landed at my feet, the tile washed back onto the beach five days later.
