Dennis McDougal 
Five Easy Decades [EPUB ebook] 
How Jack Nicholson Became the Biggest Movie Star in Modern Times

‘Dennis Mc Dougal is a rare Hollywood reporter: honest, fearless, nobody’s fool. This is unvarnished Jack for Jack-lovers and Jack-skeptics but, also, for anyone interested in the state of American culture and celebrity. I always read Mr. Mc Dougal for pointers but worry that he will end up in a tin drum off the coast of New Jersey.’— Patrick Mc Gilligan, author of Jack’s Life and Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light

Praise for Privileged Son: Otis Chandler and the Rise and Fall of the L.A. Times Dynasty
‘A great freeway pileup—part biography, part dysfunctional family chronicle, and part institutional and urban history, with generous dollops of scandal and gossip.’— Hendrick Hertzberg, The New Yorker

‘Mc Dougal has managed to scale the high walls that have long protected the Chandler clan and returned with wicked tales told by angry ex-wives and jealous siblings.’—The Washington Post

Praise for The Last Mogul: Lew Wasserman, MCA and the Hidden History of Hollywood
‘Real glamour needs a dark side. That is part of the fascination of Dennis Mc Dougal’s wonderful book.’—The Economist

‘Thoroughly reported and engrossing . . . the most noteworthy trait of MCA was how it hid its power.’—The New York Times Book Review

‘Over the years, I’ve read hundreds of books on Hollywood and the movie business, and this one is right at the top.’— Michael Blowen, The Boston Globe
