"So, another
actor writes a book about their glamorous, whirlwind life.
Personally, as an ex-Detroiter, that crap bores me to tears. I’ve
always been more interested in the working stiffs of Hollywood, 99%
of whom are overlooked in those phony, “tell-all” books. For every
Bruce Willis and Steven Spielberg, there are a hundred no-name slobs
scraping out a living in this shockingly difficult
profession.
"Therefore, this
is not a memoir about what I said to so-and-so at the Beverly Hills
Hotel. It’s also not about an actor’s “meteoric” rise, or “tragic”
fall. Rather, this book is dedicated to the players on the second
string, the “B” people, if you will, and I cheerfully include myself
in that lot."
Published by St.
Martin's Press, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a "B" Movie
Actor is an autobiography chronicling the life of Bruce Campbell
from his earliest childhood anecdotes to the conclusion of the
syndicated series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Witty and
down-to-earth, Campbell relates his ascension into obscurity and

his
misadventures as a cult icon.
In
addition to the text, If Chins Could Kill is also
highly visual, boasting an image on almost every page,
including photos and documents from Campbell's archives,
screen captures, and original supplemental graphic art by
Craig Sanborn.
If
Chins Could Kill is available in hardback June
2001. |
