Vilanch, Bruce Bruce! : My Adventures in the Skin Trade and Other Essays
Jeremy P. Tarcher August, 2000 1-58542-046-8 / 9781585420469 Hardcover Fine/Fine
First things first--this is not a book about the skin trade. Vilanch confes ses the title is an attention-getting device in the introduction. Having go t our attention, Vilanch, a leading supplier of speeches for the Academy Aw ards show, assaults our sensibilities by disclosing that "everything you he ar on [the] Oscar-cast has been written, rewritten, re-rewritten," etc. No! All that gush is, in fact, scripted? Obviously this guy is "out there," wh ich is good, as far as this book is concerned. In addition to disillusionin g us about Hollywood once again, Vilanch takes on the Motion Picture Associ ation of America; Branson, Mo.; and even gay pride. And he reflects on the speechwriter's life. Regular readers of Vilanch's column in the national ga y magazine, The Advocate, will flock to this collection, and chances are re aders new to him won't be disappointed, either. Mike Tribby
