Publisher's Synopsis
From award-winning director Jerry London-behind-the-scenes tales of famous actors, producers, television shows, and miniseries written in his inimitably humorous style.
If you've ever wondered what happens on a set after the director calls, "Cut!" this book is for you. Jerry takes the reader into the heart and soul of the television business, revealing escapades of celebrities such as Lucille Ball, Rock Hudson, Mary Tyler Moore, Liam Neeson, Jane Seymour, and many others. Richly illustrated with more than seventy-five photographs, this book will take you into a world of exotic locations, competing egos, and big money stakes that only a rare few ever get to experience.
"Thanks to Director Jerry London, playing John Blackthorn in James Clavell's Sh�gun was perhaps the high point in my long career. In his new book, From I Love Lucy to Sh�gun . . . and Beyond, Jerry brings back a deluge of exciting memories of our six-and-a-half-month shoot in Japan, and what a magnificent time it was! Jerry not only created one of the finest shows ever to grace TV, he now writes about that fabulous experience with wit and charm."-Richard Chamberlain, star of Shogun
