About the Book: In You Ain’t Heard Nothin’ Yet, James Bawden and Ron Miller return with a new collection of rare interviews with iconic film stars including Henry Fonda, Esther Williams, Buster Keaton, Maureen O’Sullivan, Walter Pidgeon, and many more. The book is filled with humorous anecdotes and incredible behind-the-scenes stories. For instance, Bette Davis reflects that she and Katharine Hepburn were both considered for the role of Scarlett O’Hara but neither was “gorgeous enough” for the part; Janet Leigh analyzes the famous shower scene in Psycho (1960), which was shot in seven days and gave the actress nightmares for years; and Jimmy Stewart describes Alfred Hitchcock as a “strange, roly-poly man, interested only in blondes and murder.” Popular horror film stars from Lon Chaney Jr. to Boris Karloff and Vincent Price are also featured in a special “movie monsters” section.

Well there’s a real fantasy question. I’d love to have been in a film with Marilyn Monroe, I think she was a really interesting person and it would have been fun to get to know her personally. Thanks
Good choice. Marilyn Monroe is such an icon… so beautiful, and just lights up the screen… I also think she was quite under-rated as an actress; she’s really done some terrific work IMHO… Thanks for entering and Good Luck 🙂
This is hard as there are so many I would love to interview. Maureen O’Hara, John Wayne, Spencer Tracy, Bette Davis, and on and on. But the one that goes way back that I would love to hear about early career all the way through is Lucille Ball. She has always been one of my favorites and the one that introduced me to so many classic stars and got me interested in the Classic Films
I think you may have answered the twitter question here, but that’s perfectly okay 🙂 Some great choices for your interview! Thanks so much for entering and Good Luck!
I would want to star opposite William Powell so that I could pretend to be Myrna Loy. We would have such awesome chemistry not to mention a lot of fun!
Sounds like that would be a blast 🙂 Thanks for entering and Good Luck!
Would love to interview William Powell!
Good choice! I imagine that would be a very entertaining interview! Thanks for entering and Good Luck 🙂
