First sentence: I was on the final location scout that went through Happy Shahan's Alamo Village in Brackettville, Texas, before filming began on Aaron Spelling's television/video production of James Michener's Texas.
Description: "Movies have replaced the circus and the carnival as the traveling sideshow for the masses of America today, providing longed for escape from day-to-day reality. In the actual movie business, one is either above the line or below the line, the demarcation where the real money and power starts and stops.

In a personal attempt to separate fact from fiction, the author takes a look at the beautiful, and the not-so-beautiful, people who work in films, in a behind the scenes account of "movie magic" from the thoroughly kissed bottom."--BOOK JACKET.
