Book Signing with Authors of Jim Tully's Biography! Lost Film!
LAUGHTER IN HELL
Born in Ohio to Irish immigrants, Jim Tully grew up on the road in the company of boxers, carnies, and hoboes. His arrival in Hollywood coincided with the birth of the motion picture industry, and for three decades, Tully balanced film business journalism with writing about the American underclass in such critically acclaimed novels as Beggars of Life and Shanty Irish.
Authors Mark Dawidziak and Paul Bauer will sign copies of their book Jim Tully: American Writer, Irish Rover, Hollywood Brawler at 6:30 PM in the Egyptian lobby and introduce the screening at 7:30 PM.
Jim Tully is also celebrated at UCLA Special Collections on October 11 with a lecture, a walking tour of Tully's Hollywood on October 14, and a LAVA Salon at Musso & Frank on October 15.
