Publishers Description: And insiders take on Tinseltown shares behindthescenes views of Mel Gibson, Kathy Bates, Michael Douglas, Richard Donner, Clint Eastwood, and many other Hollywood players and celebrities. Industry Reviews "If you are thinking of going to film school, dont. Read Which Lie Did I Tell instead. It will save you a great deal of money and tell you more about the realities of the picture business than any academic course of study. Mr. Goldman has won two Oscars and the Writers Guild Lifetime Achievement Award. He wears his credits like wound stripes, and if there is anything he does not know about the movies, it is not worth knowing. He has a New York bias that I do not buy into (I like Los Angeles), but beyond that, he is entertaining and, more importantly, right." -- John Gregory Dunne "Funny, insightful, and brutally honest ... Bill Goldman once again takes us inside the motion picture industry in an intensely personal way. So what if hell never work in this town again." -- Alan F. Horn, President and COO, Warner Bros. "People in the industry love to quote Bill Goldmans line that nobody knows anything, but in fact, Goldman knows a great deal about storytelling and filmmaking and he superbly sets forth this wisdom in his latest book." -- Peter Bart, Editor-in-Chief, "Variety "If you ever wanted to understand the power of the written word, William Goldmans Which Lie Did I Tell tells all brilliantly." -- Peter Guber, Chairman, Mandalay Entertainment "Which Lie Did I Tell is funny, tough, honest, true and also beautifully written. It is as personal as a long and delightful letter from the smartest friend you ever had." -- Robert Benton, two-time Academy Award-winning Screenwriter "This is entertaining -- even by Goldmans usual standards. Just about the most fun you can have reading." -- John Cleese "Bill Goldman has done it again with his highlyentertaining and self-deprecating humor. Hes one of the best writers Ive ever had the pleasure of working with. He takes Hollywood apart -- which, in this case, is a very good thing." -- Clint Eastwood
