"This book is about quotes, and the headliners who made them. All of us have probably heard something so witty or profound that we carried those words with us for years. The author John Frederick has met, interacted or worked with some of the most famous, fascinating figures of the day, and he was privileged to elicit (or overhear) comments that may give you a totally different view of such people as John Wayne. While preparing for what would be his last film, Frederick asked Duke what had been the single most difficult thing to accept or overcome in his fifty-year career. "Keeping your innocence and enthusiasm in the face of terrible rejection," he answered. This does not match up with most people's view of John Wayne. There are three such John Wayne stories in STARCATCHER. There are dozens of other quotes and names that will hold your attention. Almost every story in this book is fresh and new, never seen before, and many are accompanied by a photograph (38 in all). STARCATCHER makes for easy reading"--
