- The Hollywood daughter : a novel / by Alcott, Kate,author.;
"In 1950, Ingrid Bergman--already a major star after movies like Casablanca and Joan of Arc--has a baby out of wedlock with her Italian lover, film director Roberto Rossellini. Previously held up as an icon of purity, Bergman's fall shocked her legions of American fans. Growing up in Hollywood, Jessica Malloy watches as her PR executive father helps make Ingrid a star at Selznick International Pictures. Over years of fleeting interactions with the actress, Jesse comes to idolize Ingrid, who she considered not only the epitome of elegance and integrity, but also the picture-perfect mother, an area where her own difficult mom falls short. In a heated era of McCarthyism and extreme censorship, Ingrid's affair sets off an international scandal that robs seventeen-year-old Jesse of her childhood hero. When the stress placed on Jesse's father begins to reveal hidden truths about the Malloy family, Jesse's eyes are opened to the complex realities of life--and love."--- Subjects: Bildungsromans.; Biographical fiction.; Historical fiction.; Bergman, Ingrid, 1915-1982; Motion picture actors and actresses; Scandals; Unmarried mothers;

- Walking with Sam : a father, a son, and five hundred miles across Spain / by McCarthy, Andrew,1962-author.;
"When Andrew McCarthy's eldest son began to take his first steps into adulthood, McCarthy found himself wishing time would slow down. Looking to create a more meaningful connection with Sam before he fled the nest, as well as recreate his own life-altering journey decades before, McCarthy decided the two of them should set out on a trek like few others: 500 miles across Spain's Camino de Santiago. Over the course of the journey, the pair traversed an unforgiving landscape, having more honest conversations in five weeks than they'd had in the preceding two decades. Discussions of divorce, the trauma of school, McCarthy's difficult relationship with his own father, fame, and Flaming Hot Cheetos threatened to either derail their relationship or cement it. WALKING WITH SAM captures this intimate, candid and hopeful expedition as the father son duo travel across the country and towards one another"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; McCarthy, Andrew, 1962-; McCarthy, Sam.; Actors; Fathers and sons;

- A pocketful of happiness : a memoir / by Grant, Richard E.,1957-author.;
"Richard E. Grant emigrated from Swaziland to London in 1982, with dreams of making it as an actor. Unexpectedly, he met and fell in love with a renowned dialect coach Joan Washington. Their relationship and marriage, navigating the highs and lows of Hollywood, parenthood, and loss, lasted almost forty years. When Joan died in 2021, her final challenge to him was to find a "pocketful of happiness in every day." This honest and frequently hilarious memoir is written in honor of that challenge-Richard has faithfully kept a diary since childhood, and in these entries he shares raw detail of everything he has experienced: both the pain of losing his beloved wife, and the excitement of their life together, from the role that transformed his life overnight in Withnail and I to his thrilling Oscar Award nomination thirty years later for Can You Ever Forgive Me?"--- Subjects: Diaries.; Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Grant, Richard E., 1957-; Grant, Richard E., 1957-; Grant, Richard E., 1957-; Lungs; Married people; Married people; Motion picture actors and actresses; Motion picture actors and actresses;

Meghan's wedding to Harry was a joyful occasion, marking happiness at last for the Queen's grandson who had captured our hearts twenty years earlier when he bravely walked behind his mother Diana's coffin. Theirs was a story that the screenwriters of Hollywood, where Meghan had made her name, could scarcely have imagined.

- Flirting with Alaska / by Calhoune, Belle,author.;
Caleb Stone isn't ready to give up his Hollywood dreams. But after a disastrous run on a reality dating show paints him as an unapologetic player, Caleb needs a little time and space to regroup. Luckily, his hometown of Moose Falls, Alaska has both, plus a job helping his brothers run Yukon Cider. Even dialed down, Caleb's flirtatious vibes are a hit at work, except for one woman who seems completely, totally, frustratingly immune to his charms -- the gorgeous new photographer for Yukon Cider's upcoming ad campaign. Single mom Sophia Brand isn't made of ice -- resisting Caleb's devilishly sexy grin is hard, especially when it's so often directed her way. It's just that she's been burned by handsome smiles before. Now, she's focused on setting a good example for her daughter, and that means not getting sidetracked by Caleb's dazzling charisma. But as they work together on the campaign, Caleb and Sophia begin to let their guard down. Can he prove that beneath his playboy persona, Caleb is a leading man worthy of a starring role in Sophia's heart?- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Novels.; Actors; Family-owned business enterprises; Man-woman relationships; Photographers; Single mothers; Small cities;

- Honey, baby, mine : a mother and daughter talk life, death, love (and banana pudding) / by Dern, Laura,author.; Ladd, Diane,author.; Witherspoon, Reese,1976-writer of foreword.;
"Award-winning actresses and mother-daughter duo Laura Dern and Diane Ladd are the kind of women who draw strength from their lifelong friendships with other women, and most of all, from each other. Ever since Laura was born, the two have leaned on each other through the trials of everyday life and the tribulations that come with even the most storied Hollywood careers. They were always close, but when Diane developed a sudden illness, their relationship grew even deeper. When a doctor prescribed long walks to build back Diane's lung capacity, the pair began taking strolls together every day. These meandering walks soon became epic ones, and the conversations the two women shared began to break down the traditional barriers between mothers and daughters. With topics ranging from ambition and legacy to intimacy and marriage, drifting between humorous and deeply poignant, nothing was off limits. By the time Diane was healed they were more than a close duo; they had covered tremendous ground and formed a true adult relationship. Peppered throughout these intimate exchanges, they enclose personal photos, family recipes, and much more. The result is a book that will make you want to call your own mom--a testament to the intimacy that can be achieved when we are brave enough to speak our truths to those we love most"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Recipes.; Ladd, Diane; Dern, Laura.; Ladd family.; Actors; Cancer; Mothers and daughters;
