In "Wisecracks - Great Lines from the Classic Hollywood Movies", Rosmarie Jarski put together a compendium of both famous and rarely heard quips from the silver screen. Now as a companion piece to these on screen witticisms, she has put together a collection from off-camera in Hollywood. Insult and complements, hellos and goodbyes, on marriage and divorce, sex and death, work and play, truth and lies by stars, directors, writers and critics: from Groucho Marx and Mae West to Sam Goldwyn and David O Selznick.

From the Publisher:
If you think that what Hollywood puts up on the big screen is melodramatic and beyond belief, it doesn¹t begin to rival what happens in its off-screen world. Over the years, Tinseltown has produced a Babylon of scandal ‹ sordid pasts, wild parties, secret lovers, and tragic endings. Here, Rosemarie Jarski has caught the quips, ripostes, one-liners, put-downs, come-ons, and home truths that both celebrate and cut through all that glitz and excess. Every corner of Hollywood life is explored ‹ sex and success, acting and addiction, money and moguls, fame and failure ‹ as mud is slung, backs are scratched, pockets lined, and careers dissected. Great fun.
