Summary

The founders of the now infamous Academy were a motley crew as individuals, but when they first converged in Hollywood, then just a small town with dirt roads, sparks flew and fueled a common dream: to bring artistic validity to their beloved new medium. Who were these movers and shakers who would change movies forever? And what about Oscar, their famous son? He is fast approaching his hundredth birthday and is still the undisputed king of Hollywood. Yet with such dynamic parents, what else could we expect?

Author Biography

Debra Ann Pawlak has spent over ten years writing about Hollywood history. Bring Up Oscar was the runner-up in the nonfiction category at the 2011 Hollywood Book Festival. She lives in southeastern Michigan.
