Entertainment Live Portrait
 The Half-Life of Happiness by John Casey, "[Casey] is an astute observer of the ruses as well as the private confrontations that govern our behavior." --The Washington Post Book World In The Half-life of Happiness, National Book Award winner John Casey brings us a family portrait rendered with masterful precision--and unwavering compassion. On a spring afternoon in Virginia, progressive attorney Mike Reardon strolls downtown Charlottesville feeling terrific. He surveys the elements in his appealing life: filmmaker wife Joss, his clever and canny daughters, the bohemian characters that share his seven-acre haven on the Rivanna River. But Mike's blissful certainty is to be short-lived. A friend's suicide and Joss's affair with a mercurial woman turn Mike's world upside-down. Then Mike discovers the erotic quicksilver of the political campaign and so begins a farcical run for office that consumes all their lives. Here too--through Casey's brilliant rendering of Mike's sensitive, perceptive daughters--is the story of two children who grow up painfully aware of their parents' strengths and weaknesses. Superbly plotted, buoyed with humor and hope, The Half-life of Happiness embraces the accidents and choices that shape our lives and the lives of those we love. "Riveting and beautifully written." --San Francisco Chronicle-Examiner "A major novelist at the top of his form, Casey captures not only the texture of individual lives, but the shape and momentum of all lives that begin with the best intentions, then stray off course. . . . A wise and forgiving book as well as an entertaining one.
 Stars in My Eyes by Don Bachardy, Stars in My Eyes is a revealing and entertaining collection of celebrity portraits, rendered both in ink drawings and in finely prose. Internationally known portraitist Don Bachardy made each drawing from life in the course of a few hours, sketching the actors, writers, artists, composers, directors, and Hollywood elite he knew intimately and lived among with his partner, Christopher Isherwood. Then, he made notes in his diaries on the experience of making each portrait. The result is a unique document: we see Bachardy as he creates portraits on paper, and we see artists of all kinds engaged in creating and portraying their own celebrity. Made in the 1970s and 1980s, Bachardy's drawings and prose sketches capture many celebrities near the end of their careers (Ruby Keeler, Vincente Minnelli, Laurence Olivier) and others at the height of their stardom (Jack Nicholson, Mia Farrow, Linda Ronstadt). Bette Davis offers to cook him lunch and haplessly overboils the beets, sits for three drawings, and renders her judgment: "Yup, that's the old bag". Barbara Stanwyck threatens that she might scandalize him with her cussing. Aaron Copland grouses, "Well, it makes me look benign". Ellsworth Kelly admits to being a fan of The Road Warrior. Jerry Brown commissions an official portrait.
