George Stevens, Jr. tells an intimate and moving tale of his relationship with his Oscar-winning father and his own distinguished career in Hollywood and Washington. Fascinating people, priceless stories and a behind-the-scenes view of some of America's major cultural and political events grace this riveting memoir.  George Stevens, Jr. grew up in Hollywood and worked on film classics with his father and writes vividly of his experience on the sets of A Place in the Sun (1951), Shane (1953), Giant (1956) and The Diary of Anne Frank (1959). He explores how the magnitude of his father's talent and achievements left him questioning his own creative path. The younger Stevens began to forge his unique career when legendary broadcaster Edward R. Murrow recruited him to elevate the Motion Picture Service at the United States Information Agency in John F. Kennedy's Washington. Stevens' trailblazing efforts initiated what has been called the \"golden era\" of USIA filmmaking and a call to respect motion pictures as art. His appointment as founding director of the American Film Institute in 1967 placed him at the forefront of culture and politics, safeguarding thousands of endangered films and training a new generation of filmmakers. Stevens' commitment to America's cultural heritage led to envisioning the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors and propelled a creative life of award-winning films and television programs that heightened attention to social justice, artistic achievement, and the American experience. Stevens provides a rare look at a pioneering American family spanning five generations in entertainment: from the San Francisco stage in the 19th century to silent screen comedies, Academy Award-winning films, Emmy Award-winning television programs and a Broadway play in the 21st century. He reveals the private side of the dazzling array of American presidents, first ladies, media moguls, and luminaries who cross his path, including Elizabeth Taylor, Sidney Poitier, the Kennedys, Yo-Yo Ma, Cary Grant, James Dean, Bruce Springsteen, Barack and Michelle Obama, and many more. In My Place in the Sun, George Stevens, Jr. shares his lifelong passion for advancing the art of American film, enlightening audiences, and shining a spotlight on notable figures who inspire us. He provides an insightful look at Hollywood's Golden Age and an insider's account of Washington spanning six decades, bringing to life a sparkling era of American history and culture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50994708349201,"sku":"NIN9781985901179","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51414697279761,"sku":"NGR9781985901179","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/198590117X.jpg?v=1751440371"},{"product_id":"the-people-s-guide-to-the-new-botanic-treatment-of-disease-rare-book-george-stevens-1727077106mha","title":"The People's Guide to the New Botanic Treatment of Disease","description":"1881.

They were composed in the years 2009-10. However, it was about five years before the date of publication that he asked his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, if they could write a hymn a day together. Despite the weaknesses of the author, his Lord has been faithful to the request. This book shows some of the fruits of their communion together. It is set out as a hymn-a-day; but may be read as any other book. Where space has allowed, George has inserted quotations from the old King James Version of the Bible that have a bearing on the hymn upon that particular page. He selected this version as its language is both flowing and accurate. The book includes hymns of worship, praise, prayer, Christian experience and doctrine. They may bring joy, comfort or conviction such is the variety. May God our Father, bless all who read them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53380926832913,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53380927553809,"sku":"NIN9780955788178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780955788178.jpg?v=1775510887"},{"product_id":"maiden-voyage-of-the-falcon-book-george-stevens-9780955788116","title":"The Maiden Voyage of the Falcon","description":"If you have an interest in ships and are seeking adventure then this book is for you.

The ship is sailing from New York to San Francisco under the captaincy of Matt Palmer. The captain is renowned for making record-breaking voyages. He is a hard, yet fair man. However, he has to contend with a pretty motley crew and with the fact that the ship was launched with a bottle of water. The book also contains a number of diagrams and illustrations supplying some interesting facts about the structure of clipper ships and some of the work that took place on board.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53380926931217,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53380927750417,"sku":"NIN9780955788116","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780955788116.jpg?v=1775510887"},{"product_id":"giant-dvd-9781419811012","title":"Giant","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53425086628113,"sku":"CIN1419811010G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781419811012.jpg?v=1776389926"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-george-stevens.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
