Joe Queenan's hilarious essays for 'Rolling Stone' and 'Movieline' have made him persona non grata among stars and studio executives, so that when he sent out seventy-five letters to actors and actresses requesting interviews, only two responded: publicists for Liza Minnelli and Raul Julia said no.
This self-proclaimed "mean-spirited turnip" has set the denizens of Tinseltown reeling with such classics as 'Sacred Cow' (about Barbara Streisand), 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' (an avid appreciation of Melanie Griffith's endowments), and 'Mickey Rourke For A Day' ( in which Queenan impersonates the well-known bad boy by smoking eighty-two Marlboros and degrading women on the streets of New York).
This book deflates preposterous egos, trashes Hollywood's institutions with withering scorn, and is outrageously funny.
