Broadway Actors in Films, 1894-2015
Many Broadway stars appeared in Hollywood cinema from its earliest days. Some were 19th century stage idols who reprised famous roles on film as early as 1894. One was born as early as 1829. Another was cast in the performance during which Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. One took her stage name from her native state. Some modern-day stars also began their careers on Broadway before appearing in films. This book details the careers of 300 performers who went from stage to screen in all genres of film. A few made only a single movie, others hundreds. Each entry includes highlights of the performer's career, a list of stage appearances and a filmography.

Das andere Gesicht
Ein Doppelgänger tritt in Florians Leben und ist mehr Fluch als Segen, bis sein Sterben einen neuen Blickwinkel eröffnet. Auch nach dem Wiedersehen von Renate und Hans gibt es einen Todesfall mit unerwarteten Konsequenzen. Ein Kinderarzt wird nach einer ungewöhnlichen Begegnung ungewollt zum Detektiv, ein Witwer wird mit seiner Vergangenheit konfrontiert, einen Vater erschüttert der Zusammenbruch seines bisherigen Lebens. Und Anton muss befürchten, unheilbar krank zu sein; er erlebt nicht nur, wie seine Familie und seine Freunde reagieren, sondern muss sich auch mit seiner Sichtweise auf sich selbst auseinandersetzen. Sechs Geschichten - scharf beobachtet, pointiert erzählt und konsequent auf den Schlusspunkt ausgerichtet - machen nachdenklich, ohne den moralischen Zeigefinger zu erheben. Jürgen Drews zeigt ungewöhnliche Perspektivwechsel auf. Seine Protagonisten sind Menschen wie du und ich, und genau das lässt den Leser mitfühlen, miterleben und verstehen.
