Hello, He Lied: and Other Truths
from the Hollywood Trenches Hello He Lied welcomes you to the inside world of Hollywood - where there is no glossary and people play by rules discernible only to those on the inside. Here Lynda Obst shares what she has learned in over twenty years in the business, about how to pitch an idea, impress a suit, win a bidding war over a hot script, and massage egos, as well as the all consuming issue of how to dress on location, what to say to skittish directors, where to eat lunch - whether in New York, LA, or a town you've never heard of - and most important, how to produce successful, critically acclaimed movies. Hello He Lied was first published by Little Brown and debuted at #1 on the LA Times Best Seller list. It was published by Broadway Books in paperback in 1997, once again debuting on the Best Seller List where it remained for 12 weeks. Hello He Lied was recently adapted into a documentary by the award winning directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini and aired on AMC. Broadway Books Oct 1997 Rolling Stone History of the
Sixties: Lou Adler on Monterey Pop, Myra Friedman on Janis, Wavy Gravy on Woodstock, Dick Clark on American Bandstand, Pete Townshend on the Mods, Bill Graham on the Fillmore, Michael Bloomfield on Dylan, with the rest about world/political events. Some of the material is reprinted from other surces and some was prepared specifically for this book. Random House 1977
