About this ebook
"Sandra de Bruin's memories of a cherished era in entertainment history are sure to keep you captivated from one page to the next. The author's unforgettable encounters with select celebrities are presented with such authority and clarity you feel as if you're almost reliving the experiences with her."
–J.R. Jordan (film historian and author of Robert Wise: The Motion Pictures)
"What a happy romp Sandra has written: a mélange of memorable vignettes about stars she met or admired as a long-time actress in Hollywood. It's at once warm, revealing, and hilarious. I loved it!"
–Nick Lyons, author of Fire in the Straw
"I always felt that actors who did not achieve superstardom have the more interesting stories, and Sandra de Bruin is no exception. She shares her life as a working actress, describing amusing encounters with some of Hollywood's biggest stars."
–Tom Lisanti, author of Carol Lynley: Her Film & TV Career in Thrillers, Fantasy & Suspense
"Charming tales of misunderstandings, successes, and failures that show Hollywood to be a small, insular town. That's true whether Ms. de Bruin is describing a fender-bender with Paul Newman, a Las Vegas encounter with Elvis, or work with James Garner and Charlton Heston. Hollywood with a Smile captures a side of the entertainment industry that's rarely seen."
–Steven Stiefel, Los Angeles-based author of Tomorrow's Flight
