The golden hour : a story of family and power in Hollywood / by Specktor, Matthew,author.;
An exploration of the struggles between art and business in modern Hollywood. Matthew Specktor grew up in the film industry: the son of CAA superagent Fred Specktor, his childhood was one where Beau Bridges came over for dinner, Martin Sheen's daughter was his close friend, and Marlon Brando left long messages on the family answering machine. He would eventually work in Hollywood himself, first as a studio executive and later as a screenwriter. Now, Specktor blends memoir, cultural criticism, and narrative history to tell the story of the modern motion picture industry-illuminating the conflict between art and business over the last seventy-five years in Hollywood. Interweaving his own story with that of his father, mother (a talented screenwriter whose career was cut short), and figures ranging from Jack Nicholson to CAA's Michael Ovitz, Specktor reveals how Hollywood became a laboratory for the eternal struggle between art, labor, and capital. Beginning with the rise of Music Corporation of America in the 1950s, The Golden Hour lays out a series of clashes between fathers and sons, talent agents and studio heads, artists, activists, unions, and corporations. With vivid prose and immersive scenes, Specktor shows how Hollywood grew from the epicenter of American cultural life to a full-fledged multinational concern--and what this shift has meant for the nation's place in the world. At once a book about the movie business and an intimate family drama, The Golden Hour is a sweeping portrait of the American Century.

Everything is not enough : a novel / by Akinmade-Akerström, Lola,author.;
"Can a career woman truly have it all? Powerful marketing executive Kemi Adeyemi has finally found the man she needs, but Tobias Wikström thinks she's the most selfish woman he has ever met for asking him to give up his life in Sweden and move to the US for her own comfort. Will Kemi be forced to stay, chipping away at her hard-earned career, if she wants to keep him? As things begin to sour and Kemi faces challenges in her relationship with Tobias, someone else moves back into the picture. Can having it all be a gilded cage? Looking into divorce in Sweden isn't what former model-turned-flight-attendant Brittany-Rae von Lundin anticipated. Only jointly owned assets are split evenly between couples. Brittany gave up her career and went with nothing into Jonny's kingdom. Having had a child with him, Brittany fears their daughter, Maya, will be cut off from the resources she's become accustomed to. Trying to get away from a man obsessed with a ghost isn't going to be easy. And the deeper she digs into his past, the darker the secrets she unravels. Can you run from your past to have it all? After fleeing her home with the help of a client to seek a new life in Sweden, Yasmiin carves out her own small corner of the world, finding love in the arms of Yagiz Çelik. But when someone from her past forces Yasmiin to become a caretaker before she's ready, she now must confront and move beyond her teenage history, all while pursuing her dreams of becoming a makeup artist. Follow the loosely intertwined and messy lives of Kemi, Brittany, and Yasmiin as they interrogate themes of place, prejudice, and patriarchy in Europe. Lọlá Ákínmádé Åkerström proves, yet again, that she is the next great voice of nuanced contemporary women's fiction."--Jacket flap.
