Producer’s Memoir Reveals Hollywood Secrets
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, New York — Whether you’re trying to break into the film industry, or if you simply have a passion or curiosity for Hollywood, veteran entertainment producer Julian Schlossberg provides a tell-all in his new memoir, Try Not to Hold It Against Me (Beaufort Books; Hardcover & digital; $26.95; on sale January 31st, 2023).
“A LOVE LETTER TO SHOW BUSINESS! Try Not to Hold It Against Me is a must-read written by one of the best & funniest in the industry. Truly a fascinating memoir that will captivate & delight any reader!”
— Susan Stroman, five-time Tony Award-winning Director & Choreographer
From his nearly 60 years in show business, Schlossberg takes us through stories of a lifetime — the trials and triumphs of work and play, in every avenue of the business: negotiating with Al Pacino, Burt Reynolds, and Lillian Hellman; hosting the syndicated radio and television production “Movie Talk;” restoring Orson Welles’ masterly film adaptation of “Othello;” partying with Barbra Streisand; testifying in a lawsuit against The Beatles; and interviewing over 120 of the most influential figures for his series “Witnesses to the 20th Century.”
Written with engaging humor and self-deprecation, Try Not to Hold It Against Me gives readers a behind-the-scenes pass to Hollywood and its secrets. It’s a compelling read for entertainment-enthusiasts alike — and a one-of-a-kind autobiography by one of entertainment’s true insiders.
