{"title":"Gene Wilder","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"kiss-me-like-a-stranger-book-gene-wilder-9780312337063","title":"Kiss Me Like a Stranger","description":"Gene Wilder is one of the great comic actors who defined film comedy in the 1970's and 1980's. From the three classics he made with Mel Brooks, to his early work with Woody Allen, to his partnership on screen with Richard Pryor, Wilder's performances are still discussed and celebrated today. KISS ME LIKE A STRANGER is an intimate glimpse of the man behind the image on the screen. Although not an autobiography in the usual sense, and not another celebrity \"tell all,\" Wilder has selected the most personal events in his life that led him to an understanding of the art of acting, and - more important - to an understanding of how to give and receive the love of a woman. He writes about the creative process on stage and screen and divulges moments from life on the sets of some of the funniest and most iconic movies of our time. He talks candidly about his failures in love, and about the overwhelming experience of marrying Gilda Radner. This book reveals a side of one of America's most popular actors never before written about.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49509110055185,"sku":"CIN031233706XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49546934190353,"sku":"CIN031233706XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49662287216913,"sku":"CIN031233706XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50940958933265,"sku":"GOR002634039","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/031233706X.jpg?v=1751133798"},{"product_id":"kiss-me-like-a-stranger-book-gene-wilder-9780007208050","title":"Kiss Me Like a Stranger","description":"Gene Wilder defined film comedy in the 1970s and '80s. But this is no traditional autobiography, rather it's an intelligent, quirky, humorous account of key events that have affected him in search for love and art.             In this very personal, fascinating book, Wilder gives a great insight into the creative process on stage and screen. He discusses his experiences of working with the very best of movie talent, including Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Sidney Poitier and Richard Pryor, and tells how he developed his own unique style from his early days at The Actors' Studio with Lee Strasberg.             Amongst other incidents, he describes his time in the UK, which he has great fondness for, studying at the Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol. During this period he came top of his class at fencing and doorstepped Sir John Geilgud to ask him to explain the use of iambic pentametre.             Wilder also talks amusingly about his failed love life off-screen (including 4 marriages) and is candid about much darker times such as the death of his third wife, comedienne Gilda Radner, from cancer. He also reveals his own recent battle with the disease, which he's now come through, and which changed his perspective on life.             This isn't a traditional celebrity 'tell all' but an insight into the life and mind of a great comic actor who has a rare ability to write as well as he performs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49524188053777,"sku":"GOR000853574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49606511755537,"sku":"GOR001381867","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50406828638481,"sku":"GOR007801061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50433902510353,"sku":"NGR9780007208050","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50782509629713,"sku":"GOR010566511","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53215021007121,"sku":"CIN0007208057A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0007208057.jpg?v=1751322044"},{"product_id":"my-french-whore-a-love-story-book-gene-wilder-9781905847426","title":"My French Whore: a Love Story","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49550694940945,"sku":"GOR001856658","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50190295597329,"sku":"GOR013884080","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50866263359761,"sku":"GOR004549970","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1905847424.jpg?v=1750964435"},{"product_id":"kiss-me-like-a-stranger-book-gene-wilder-9780007208043","title":"Kiss Me Like a Stranger","description":"Gene Wilder defined film comedy in the 1970s and '80s, starring in movies ranging from The Producers to Blazing Saddles and See No Evil, Hear No Evil.

Altman urged him to contact Dr. M. Steven Piver at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York.  Wilder and Piver met via telephone and immediately recognized their shared common desire. From that time, they have worked together to communicate to the general public what is known about ovarian cancer. When Dr. Piver decided to write Gilda's Disease, he asked Wilder to help him by sharing what he had learned during Gilda's struggle so that others might benefit from their ordeal. Wilder and Piver have worked diligently to ensure that the material provided here is accessible and informative without being too scary. The result is a book that offers both medical and personal insights into ovarian cancer.

As if looking into some magical mirror, you will see yourself in the characters of these stories; and as story characters grapple with real-life issues, you will surprisingly discover that your real-life issues intersect with those addressed in the age-old biblical story. As each story ends, the hope, love, joy, and peace that surrounded Bethlehem's manger will come to rest in your heart. While children will be fascinated by these well-told tales, adults will detect the treads of deeper meaning running through each story. Parents may choose to read these stories aloud at family Christmas gatherings, and church leaders will discover that these stories freshly convey the true spirit of Christmas when read aloud in services of worship. Regardless of the setting, these stories touch the heart as they magically bring Bethlehem's story to the reader's front door.

Each emotionally involving story illuminates a different kind of love: star-crossed, intense, needy, eternal, unrequited, even comical. Wilder's protagonists will be instantly recognizable to his fans: men and women who stumble into relationships that can fulfil them or knock them out cold. Which one it will be depends, often, on the smallest of gestures or reactions. Wilder's stories include: \"In Love for the First Time\", about a lover so shy and studious that he's a 'funny duck' who has to be led by the hand by his equally inexperienced girlfriend; \"About Being in Love\", featuring coarse but charming Buddy Silverman, who yearns for connection but looks for it in exactly the wrong kind of woman; and, \"The Woman in the Red Hat\", who shows a writer who has only explored love in his books what the real thing feels like.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50190295761169,"sku":"GOR013884079","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50684111192337,"sku":"CIN0312672799G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000876368145,"sku":"NIN9780312672799","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51355469873425,"sku":"GOR006564715","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52140449726737,"sku":"NLS9780312672799","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52492328337681,"sku":"CIN0312672799VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0312672799.jpg?v=1751005503"},{"product_id":"the-producers-1-disc-edition-dvd-dvd-5060116720792","title":"The Producers (1 Disc Edition) [DVD]","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50629709365521,"sku":"DVDB000FJHWPMVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50681199591697,"sku":"DVDB000FJHWPMLN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B000FJHWPM.jpg?v=1750778891"},{"product_id":"see-no-evil-hear-no-evil-dvd-0014381756456","title":"See No Evil, Hear No Evil","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50648012849425,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50648012980497,"sku":"DVDB005LS4MUAVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B005LS4MUA.jpg?v=1751098147"},{"product_id":"what-is-this-thing-called-love-book-gene-wilder-9780312598907","title":"What Is This Thing Called Love?","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor a romantic, it's life's ultimate question: What is This Thing Called Love?
