- Synopsis
- In Hollywood, securing a coveted role in a big-budget film or landing a part in a prestigious feature sometimes doesn' t come down to who or what you know— but how far you' re willing to go. Tales from the Casting Couch is an anthology of little-known stories and anecdotes about actual casting sessions that propelled then-unknown actors to fame or established stars who secured themselves second acts. Learn how Dustin Hoffman mumbled his way out of the wrong job, why Orson Welles got a second chance from Lucy and Desi, and much more. This collection of stories features many Hollywood' s stars and legends, such as Sally Field, Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Martin, Robert Redford, Sylvester Stallone, John Travolta, and many, many others. In chapters like “ Chutzpah,” “ Size Is Everything,” “ Date with Destiny,” and “ Sex, Sex, Sex,” everyone from actors and actresses to producers and casting directors share some of the most outrageous stories about life behind the scenes in Tinseltown.
