Through the Years . . .

Do you remember when HBO was pretty much the only premium channel around, and it seemed so revolutionary? If you were a kid, like me, then you sat in front of the TV day after day watching the same few movies . . . Grease 2, Under the Rainbow, 9 to 5, and my favorite, Clash of the Titans. To this day, I can recite huge chunks of dialogue from the original Titans, and these repeated viewings opened up a special place in my heart for Harry Hamlin. Then, decades later, he showed up in a favorite TV show, Veronica Mars. Yay!
Hamlin recently released a book about his childhood, Full Frontal Nudity: The Making of an Accidental Actor. I haven't had a chance to read our copy yet, but by all reports, it's quite good. But if Harry Hamlin is not your cup of tea, perhaps you'd like one of the other new celebrity biographies and memoirs we've gotten at HCL. They cover a wide range of topics, from Dick Cavett to Paul McCartney, and there's sure to be one to pique your interest.
