Angels and Demons : One Actor's Hollywood Journal Book

Angels & Demons is the story of one actor's rise, fall and ultimate triumph, presenting a revealing and intimate look at life in Hollywood and in the theater. Ray Stricklyn pulls no punches as he portrays the angels and demons he met along the way - and those he discovered within himself. He invites readers into his life and times: his struggles with his own homosexuality in the homophobic Hollywood of the 1950's; his second career as a successful publicist; and a close-up look at the foibles and heartbreaks of the rich and famous we only thought we knew. Among the legends Stricklyn knew, worked with, and writes about in this revealing memoir are: Bette Davis, James Dean, Gary Cooper, Henry Fonda, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Grace Kelly, Katharine Hepburn, Debbie Reynolds, Rock Hudson, Tennessee Williams, Clifton Webb, Paul Newman and Geraldine Page.
