Once Rick had his own television series, a famous western called \"Bounty Law.\" But \"it ain't been that \u003ci\u003etime\u003c\/i\u003e in a long \u003ci\u003etime\u003c\/i\u003e\" and now Rick's only regular parts are as the heavy, ready to be bested by whichever young \"swingin' dick\" the networks want to make a new star out of come pilot season.   When a talent agent approaches Rick about starring in Italian Westerns (\"\u003ci\u003eEye\u003c\/i\u003e-talian Westerns\"?), it only ignites a new crisis of confidence for the perpetually insecure actor.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then there's Rick's stunt double, Cliff Booth, a war hero who killed more Japanese soldiers during the Second World War than any other American, and who never thought he'd make it back home.  If Rick's career has stalled, Cliff's has flamed out.  Already living under a cloud of suspicion after the strange death of his wife at sea, Cliff makes the mistake of picking the wrong fight on set, and is soon reduced to the status of Rick's full-time gofer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRight next door to Rick's still glamourous Benedict Canyon home (\"the house that \u003ci\u003eBounty Law\u003c\/i\u003e built\") some Hollywood dreams \u003ci\u003eare \u003c\/i\u003ecoming true, and these dreams belong to Sharon Tate.  Not only is she Mrs. Roman Polanski - married to the only true \u003ci\u003erock star director\u003c\/i\u003e - but Sharon is fast becoming a star in her own right, living life on the upswing in a tough town. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly a few miles away, in the desert around Chatsworth, lives a different kind of dreamer.  Charles Manson is an ex-con who has spellbound a group of hippie misfits living with him in squalor on an old \"movie ranch.\"  Little do his young followers know to what degree Charlie himself is an industry striver, more desperate for Columbia Records and Tapes's attentions than for the revolution he preaches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese indelible characters - and many more: an acting child prodigy beaming with hope; a booze-drenched former A-lister who's lost it all - occupy a vanished world from not so long ago that is brought to brilliant life in these pages.  Here\u003ci\u003e is \u003c\/i\u003e1969, the music, the cars, the movies and TV shows.  And here \u003ci\u003eis \u003c\/i\u003eHollywood, both the fairy tale and the real thing, as given to us by a master storyteller who knows it like the back of his hand.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURING NEW PHOTOS AND BONUS MATERIAL:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - \u003cb\u003eTwo color inserts featuring never-before-seen photos from the set      and posters and other memorabilia from Rick Dalton's career\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - An original, exclusive script for a \u003ci\u003eBounty Law\u003c\/i\u003e episode by      Quentin Tarantino titled \"Incident at Inez\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - A \u003ci\u003eMad Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e parody of \u003ci\u003eBounty Law \u003c\/i\u003etitled \"Lousy      Law: Loser's Last Ride\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40943964880993,"sku":"9781398706118","price":24.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_8124385_jpg.jpg?v=1705573129","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781398706118-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
