About this title

Synopsis

There really is no business like show business. This engaging book takes young readers behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood into the dizzying world of agents, casting directors, “big picture” producers, and bustling production teams. Vibrant illustrations and a conversational tone provide a captivating cross-section of the film, television, and stage industries. Along the way, “Popcorn Quizzes” test movie mavens’ show biz trivia, “Director’s Notes” offer cues to budding Barrymores, and “Screen Speak” glossaries decipher industry lingo. A note to parents and list of resources provide further information.
