Hollywood Stunt Performers, 1910s-1970s
This biographical dictionary shines the spotlight on several hundred unheralded stunt performers who created some of the cinema's greatest action scenes without credit or recognition. The time period covered encompasses the silent comedy days of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, the early westerns of Tom Mix and John Wayne, the swashbucklers of Douglas Fairbanks, Errol Flynn, and Burt Lancaster, the costume epics of Charlton Heston and Kirk Douglas, and the action films of Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, and Charles Bronson. Without stuntmen and women working behind the scenes the films of these action superstars would not have been as successful. Now fantastic athletes and leading stunt creators such as Yakima Canutt, Richard Talmadge, Harvey Parry, Allen Pomeroy, Dave Sharpe, Jock Mahoney, Chuck Roberson, Polly Burson, Bob Morgan, Loren Janes, Dean Smith, Hal Needham, Martha Crawford, Ronnie Rondell, Terry Leonard, and Bob Minor are given their proper due. Each entry covers the performer's athletic background, military service, actors doubled, noteworthy stunts, and a rundown of his or her best known screen credits.
Up the Hill, Through the Long Grass
Aidan McCrea and Kelsey, his wife, along with Aidan's brother, Rory, are joint owners of Star Sheep and Cattle Company. Aidan is the cattleman, bent on increasing his Black Angus herds and his acreage. He has political aspirations and hopes to one day become the Governor of Idaho. Rory McCrea raises sheep. Rory is black Irish and roguish which doesn't make Aidan happy. That Kelsey is attracted to Rory further adds to Aidan's dislike of his brother. The two brothers are often at odds on how to run their company. Rory considers Kelsey his "ideal woman" and that also causes friction between the brothers. After a major disagreement, Rory decides it's time to cut the ties and move to a Montana ranch, leaving Kelsey behind in Idaho. Can Rory find happiness on the new ranch and will his current love, Marta Lansdorf, finally displace Kelsey in Rory's heart?

Pamela Tiffin
Dark-haired 60s cult pop icon Pamela Tiffin debuted in Summer and Smoke (1961) and was a scene-stealing comedienne opposite James Cagney in Billy Wilder's One, Two, Three (1961) before becoming the queen of teenage drive-in movies in State Fair (1963), Come Fly with Me (1963), For Those Who Think Young (1964), The Lively Set (1964) and The Pleasure Seekers (1964). After landing a sexy adult role opposite Paul Newman in Harper (1966), she went blonde and ran away to Italy to star in such films as Kiss the Other Sheik (1968), The Fifth Cord (1971) and Deaf Smith & Johnny Ears (1973). This thoroughly researched career retrospective pays tribute to the talented Tiffin, hailed by Cagney for her "remarkable flair for comedy," and addresses why she did not achieve superstardom. Interviews with co-stars, including Franco Nero, and film historians offer a behind-the-scenes look at her most popular films.
