Description:
What drives someone to become a success? Why do people persevere when the odds are against them? Is there a secret to becoming successful? The best way to find out is to interview people who have been there, and done that, who have spent their lives in a pursuit of success in one form or another. And that's exactly what Burt Prelutsky has done in this amazing collection of interviews. The top people of yesterday and today offer their insights into their success and into their lives. In a conversational style, these easy-to-read interviews explore the minds and lives of 78 different celebrities, businessmen, titans of industry, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, all who have achieved the… pinnacle of success in their fields. For many like Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers, Dinah Shore, and Billy Wilder these were the last interviews they gave, making this a truly unique collection of interviews. The book, which reads like a light, breezy magazine article, is a compilation of questions and answers. Prelutsky explores everything from favorite books, to feelings about politics, to questions we've all wanted to ask any of these favorite celebrities. It's a fascinating look at the great minds and talents of yesterday and today. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Burt Prelutsky is an award-winning writer, political pundit, humor columnist, author and movie critic.
