Where Did I Go Right? You're No One in Hollywood Unless Someone Wants You Dead

Bernie Brillstein
Where Did I Go Right? is Brillstein's street-smart, funny, and thoroughly human story of a life in show business. With his trademark wit and candor, he speaks out for the first time about his feud with Mike Ovitz, and how it felt to pass the leadership of his company to his partner, Brad Grey, and no longer be the king. He describes his close relationship with John Belushi and what it was like being alone with Belushi's body as it lay stretched out across two cramped seats in a tiny jet, wrapped up in a body bag on the way to his funeral. He shares stories about Jim Henson and Gilda Radner, about Lorne Michaels and the early days of Saturday Night Live.

Shooting Water A Memoir of Second Chances, Family, and Filmmaking

Devyani Saltzman,Deepa Mehta
The highly acclaimed debut is Devyani Saltzman's remarkable story of reconnecting with her mother, award-winning filmmaker Deepa Mehta, in India and Sri Lanka during the production of the Oscar®-nominated film Water.

This cross-cultural memoir chronicles her life-changing experiences in India and Sri Lanka, the struggle to produce the controversial Oscar®-nominated film, and the emergence of a deeper understanding between mother and daughter. This trade paperback edition features a reading group guide that includes an interview with the author and discussion questions. 16 black-and-white photos, maps.
