About the Author
Beverly Gray's long tenure with Roger Corman gave her extraordinary access to many of his former associates. Ms. Gray has been an assistant professor of English at the University of Southern California and an instructor for UCLA Extension's screenwriting program. She is currently a freelance journalist for several publications including the Hollywood Reporter. She resides in Los Angeles.
Review
“Roger Corman, director/producer of hundreds of low-budget, popular and influential genre films and cult classics, appears in all his tawdry splendor in Beverly Gray’s deftly told unauthorized biography.” --Carl Rollyson, Wall Street Journal
"For a more thoughtful account of the tensions in Corman's career - he was, it turns out, as committed to hiring women in positions of power as he was to filming them nude - check out Roger Corman: Blood-Sucking Vampires, Flesh-Eating Cockroaches, and Driller Killers, a recently updated insider's account by Beverly Gray, who worked for him." -- Jason Zinoman, New York Times Sunday Book Review
