Softcover. 328 pages, 150 photos, filmographies

Forewords by Kathryn Adams, Mala Powers and Marion Shilling.

In 1999, Boyd Magers and Michael Fitzgerald published WESTERNS WOMEN: INTERVIEWS WITH FIFTY LEADING LADIES OF MOVIE AND TELEVISION WESTERNS FROM THE 1930S TO THE 1960S, to acclaim and delight of the Westerns world. (“A must for fans…entertaining and an absorbing read”—WRANGLER’S ROOST;“excellent”—UNDER WESTERN SKIES; “recommended for any Western fan’s library”—NOSTALGIA WESTERNS“engaging…affectionate”—FILM REVIEW.)
Now Fitzgerald and Magers are back with a new roundup of interviews with leading ladies from B-westerns, A-westerns, and television. In this volume of fascinating and candid conversations, 51 actresses discuss the facts of life as lived on a western set—and why, despite harsh working conditions, low pay, and a host of other challenges, most of them would happily choose to live it again.

THE FILMS OF AUDIE MURPHY

by Boyd Magers

This work not only traces Audie Murphy’s life as a film actor (from Beyond Glory, 1948, to A Time for Dying, 1971) but also provides a biography that runs from his birth to his three years in the army, winning every possible combat medal including the Congressional Medal of Honor—and from his Hollywood debut at James Cagney’s invitation to his final dramatic decline, gambling his fortunes away, becoming involved in violent episodes, and dying in a plane crash in 1971. Each of the 49 film entries gives full credits, including casts, characters, crew, date of release, location, and cost, backgrounds for directors and main players, and comments and anecdotes from interviews with Murphy’s colleagues. Critical reviews are quoted and the work is richly illustrated with film stills and private photographs. 232 pages. Photos for every film.

Now only $46 (plus $8 U.S. postage)
