Synopsis
From the Book Jacket: Audiences love animals. Actors, however, would rather not share a scene with animal stars. The animal always steals the scene and wins the hearts of the audience in the process. In his new book Great Animals of the Movies, Ed Edelson brings us into the world of the greatest animal stars of the movies and of television. Stars like Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, Flicka, Mr. Ed, Morris the Finicky Cat, Flipper, and even make-believe animals like Bruce the man-eating shark of Jaws, King Kong, Godzilla, and many more. We meet some of their trainers, and learn some funny and charming anecdotes about these furry or not-so- furry animal stars whom we know and love. Edelson also gives the reader the inside behind-the-scenes story of how the animals are taught to "act" and all about stunt animals, stand-ins, and even the backstage gossip about the animals and their human costars. This is a fun book for animal lovers and movie lovers too. The pictures are wonderful and add more fun to this entertaining book. Edward Edelson spends most of his working hours as the science editor of the New York Daily News, but he still manages to find the time to watch plenty of movies. A graduate of New York University and, a Sloan-Rockefeller Fellow in the Advanced Science Writing Program at Columbia University, Mr. Edelson now lives in Jamaica, New York, with his wife and three children. His previous books include Great Monsters of the Movies, The Book of Prophecy, Visions of Tomorrow, Funny Men of the Movies, Great Movie Spectaculars, Tough Guys and Gals of the Movies, and Great Kids of the Movies.
