Book Review: Hollywood Be Thy Name - An Inside Look at Hollywood Actors and Extras by Shirley and Jeff Lawrence - Page 2

It was interesting to find out that some sitcom writers will laugh at their own scripts during tapings of their shows. More often than not they will sit off to the side and laugh louder than the audience. I enjoyed reading that Phil Perlman (Rhea's Dad) was a regular extra on Cheers. It must have been fun for Rhea (who played Carla) to have her dad on the set every day. One of my favorite stories involved a deal between an extra and Rock Hudson. If you want to know what happened you'll have to read the book. Hollywood Be Thy Name also includes the romance and later marriage of the authors' who met while working in Hollywood. 

Shirley and Jeff Lawrence wrote a great handbook for the aspiring thespian and for someone who just wants to know what goes on behind the scenes. To learn more about the authors and the book please visit their official site, Hollywood with Jeff and Shirley.
