Fading Fame
"Munter probes the lives of Hollywood women after the lights have gone down in this debut collection of fiction and drama....Munter writes purposefully about the systemic misogyny that has dominated Hollywood throughout its history, from predatory producers on casting couches to women being considered too old before they were out of their 30s. A common theme is the exploitation perpetrated by the various husbands who only continue the damage started by other men... A thought-provoking, well-crafted collection of Hollywood survival stories." - Kirkus Reviews Pam Munter has authored several books including When Teens Were Keen: Freddie Stewart and The Teen Agers of Monogram (Nicholas Lawrence ...
As Alone As I Want to Be
"'Life, ' George Bernard Shaw wrote, 'is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.' That experience-creating myself while living an adventurous life on a learning curve-is at the core of AS ALONE AS I WANT TO BE. The memoir is a feminist journey through a life lived deliberately-many lives, actually-as seen via an occasionally sardonic point of view, an eye for irony and humor and a consistent sense of awe. It will encourage readers to go for their dreams at any age but women over 50 might find much with which to identify. Achieving mastery in several fields is still unusual for a woman in contemporary society, much less one from an earlier generation."

Buster Keaton's Crew
Buster Keaton told an interviewer in 1965, "When I'm working alone, the cameraman, the prop man, the electrician, these are my eyes out there.... They knew what they were talking about." Drawn from film trade magazines, newspapers, interviews and public records, this book tells the previously unpublished stories of the behind-the-scenes crew who worked on Keaton's silent films--like Elgin Lessley, who went from department store clerk to chief cameraman, and Fred Gabourie, who served as an army private in the Spanish American War before he became Keaton's technical director. "I'd ask, 'Did that work the way I wanted it to?' and they'd say yes or no," Keaton said of his crew. He couldn't have made his films without them.

When Teens Were Keen
They were arguably the most talented song and dance troupe ever to come out of Hollywood in the 1940s. In three short years, from 1946 to 1948, this team of five veteran musical performers produced, eight wildly popular "B" features for Monogram Pictures. They were The Teen Agers, in the first series of films to capture the idealized spirit of clean-cut post WWII high school youth. Their real lives, however, were very different from their screen personalities. Only one member actually graduated from high school. There were rivalries and stage mothers, culminating in spousal abuse, alcoholism, multiple marriages, depression, and suicide. All but one died tragically and she became Lois Lane.
