Overview

Great Hollywood Wit rollicks with hilarious movie lines and backstage zingers-smart, tart, and (in Sir John Gielgud's case) wicked: ""Ingrid Bergman speaks five languages and can't act in any of them."" Julia Roberts, fashion buff: ""I only put clothes on so that I'm not naked when I go out shopping."" Retiring Burt Reynolds: ""You can only hold your stomach in for so many years."" Great Hollywood Wit is an unequaled cavalcade of hilarity that you'll laugh through again and again. A wonderful one-of-a-kind gift.

Hollywood can be a cruel place. So much wit and vinegar, so much naked envy, so much concentrated spite. That's what makes Great Hollywood Wit such a vicious pleasure to read. Stars say the darndest things, especially about themselves. Great Hollywood Wit captures celebrities' caustic comments in both scripted and unguarded moments.

Author Information

Gene Shalit is one of America's most popular movie critics and anthologists of humor. It would be difficult to find another personality who has appeared on the same daily network TV show for thirty straight years, which is Shalit's still-continuing record on NBC's Today. He lives in Western Massachusetts with Fellini D. Katt, named to resonate with feline, film, and Shalit's friend and hero, the late Italian director. Shalit prefers pasta to popcorn but advocates eating neither at the movies.
