Know who your reel friends are

You see them everywhere but do you really know them? Here is an opportunity to put a name with the face and maybe find a new old movie or two. More fun is the emergence of TV programs on DVD. Now you do not only know Sam Jaffee from "Shangri-La", but also as Dr. Zorba in "Ben Casey" The book is inclusive of twelve actors form our past: Elisha Cook , Iris Adrian, Sam Jaffe , Beulah Bondi , Fritz Feld , John Qualen , Charles Lane , Anita Garvin , John Carradine , Rolfe Sedan , Byrt Mustin and George Chandler. We get a general bio and filmography on each character with several black and white photos that include other characters on their periphery. This is a more in depth concentration than the "Filmfax" magazine.
