Call Me Lucky


Book Description

“Do you think you could teach Rock Hudson to talk like you do?” The question came from famed Hollywood director George Stevens, and an affirmative answer propelled Bob Hinkle into a fifty-year career in Hollywood as a speech coach, actor, producer, director, and friend to the stars. Along the way, Hinkle helped Rock Hudson, Dennis Hopper, Carroll Baker, and Mercedes McCambridge talk like Texans for the 1956 epic film Giant. He also helped create the character Jett Rink with James Dean, who became a best friend, and he consoled Elizabeth Taylor personally when Dean was killed in a tragic car accident before the film was released. A few years later, Paul Newman asked Hinkle to do for him what he’d done for James Dean. The result was Newman’s powerful portrayal of a Texas no-good in the Academy Award–winning film Hud (1963). Hinkle could—and did—stop by the LBJ Ranch to exchange pleasantries with the president of the United States. He did likewise with Elvis Presley at Graceland. Good friends with Robert Wagner, Hinkle even taught Wagner’s wife Natalie Wood how to throw a rope. He appeared in numerous television series, including Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Dragnet, and Walker, Texas Ranger. On a handshake, he worked as country music legend Marty Robbins’s manager, and he helped Evel Knievel rise to fame. From his birth in Brownfield, Texas, to a family so poor “they could only afford a tumbleweed as a pet,” Hinkle went on to gain acclaim in Hollywood. Through it all, he remained the salty, down-to-earth former rodeo cowboy from West Texas who could talk his way into—or out of—most any situation. More than forty photographs, including rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of the stars Hinkle met and befriended along the way, complement this rousing, never-dull memoir.

East Coast Blues – A 1960s Odyssey


Book Description

A fi ctional social history, which gets under the skin of 1960s England: its music and youth cultures and the more general social attitudes and behaviours of that decade. John Eves challenges the depiction of Mods vs Rockers in the 60s, comparing experiences of living in North London at that time, to those of young people growing up in the provinces. This is interspersed with stories of working life in a small provincial offi ce environment, with shocking accounts of the sexism and sexual harassment ‘tolerated’ by the female staff. East Coast Blues – A 1960s Odyssey is the story of a young man coming of age in the 1960s; about how the Mod culture of the 1960s went sour through the mindless violence of a few. The novel reveals the jealousies, power struggles and disputes – mainly over girls – and challenges the bias of the press at the time, that all Mods were violent thugs. This is not an alternative history but the 1960s as one man remembers living it.
