Written by Scott Ryan and published by Fayetteville Mafia Press, the book is the never-before-told inside story behind the making of <em>Moonlighting<\/em> and the legendary behind-the-scenes battles among the stars, producers, and network.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan interviewed over twenty people, including Glenn Gordon Caron, the creator of <em>Moonlighting<\/em>, as well as the actors, writers, directors, and producers who made the TV series such a dynamic and unforgettable comedy-drama. Actors Cybill Shepherd, Allyce Beasley and Curtis Armstrong are among those who speak openly to him about their time on the show. This oral history, which is printed in full color with pictures never before seen, delves deep into the thoughts and feelings of the cast and crew as they relive this magical moment in pop culture history.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan says, \u201cI want fans of the show as well as those not familiar with it, to get a sense of the history, the passion, and the real makings of this revolutionary TV show. People might think they know what happened, but they have no idea how crazy it got behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aired from 1985 to 1989 on ABC, <em>Moonlighting<\/em> helped pave the way for today\u2019s era of prestige television.\u00a0Among the most buzzed-about shows in the country, it won three Golden Globe Awards, thanks largely to the bravado of creator Glenn Gordon Caron, who never met a TV-storytelling convention he didn\u2019t want to break, and the sizzling on-screen chemistry between its unforgettable main characters, glamorous erstwhile film star Maddie Hayes (played by Cybill Shepherd) and irreverent private eye David Addison (played by an unknown New Jersey bartender named Bruce Willis). Their ceaseless bickering and flirting onscreen, and their epic off-screen battles, remain the stuff of Hollywood legend.<\/p>\n<p><em>Moonlighting: An Oral History Paperback<\/em> will be officially released in paperback on June 1st, 2021, and is available for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Moonlighting-Oral-History-Scott-Ryan-ebook\/dp\/B08GGYSB2P\/\">pre-order on Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/fayettevillemafiapress.com\">Fayettevillemafiapress.com<\/a><u>. <\/u><br \/>\nYou can review an advance reading copy on <a href=\"http:\/\/netgal.ly\/JZ8PRE\">NetGalley<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edelweiss.plus\/?sku=1949024261&amp;g=4400\">Edelweiss<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>ISBN 978-1949024265<\/p>\n<p>Price: $<a href=\"about:blank\">29.99<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Scott Ryan<\/strong> is the managing editor of <em>The Blue Rose Magazine<\/em> and the author of\u00a0<em>thirtysomething at thirty: an oral history<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>The Last Days of Letterman<\/em>.
