Closing [#WesleyanUniversity’s #JeanineBasinger and #SamWasson’s “Hollywood: The Oral History”], one wonders if American #entertainment has reached its end as a collection of myths and legends suitable to a secular society…The glow and the gleam of #Hollywood are fading. The collected testimony of witnesses is inevitably a kind of group elegy for something loved and gone.” —#AdamGopnik https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/12/05/what-hollywoods-ultimate-oral-history-reveals

Listening to #Hollywood An Oral History by #SamWasson and #JeanineBasinger - a terrific book. #Audiobook, however, I want to take the voice actors aside for a little lesson on how to pronounce Kunbrick, Preminger, toots and gaudy. I've done voiceovers for books and you check this stuff before you record https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Hollywood-Audiobook/B0B322CD51?ref=a_library_t_c5_libItem_&pf_rd_p=7e7340a8-8768-4798-a0ce-83f879c09110&pf_rd_r=NN3N2NM9QF6FQ80Z4FA6
