Author of Bruce Lee, Woodstock and Me Hollywood Producer and Legendary Founder of New York Landmark Nightclub: The Bitter End Fred Weintraub, Hollywood producer and author of "Bruce Lee, Woodstock and Me" delivers his insider’s ewest memoir delivers quintessential glimpse of five decades of American culture and entertainment _____________________________________________________________ Noted producer, talent manager and club owner Fred Weintraub will be signing copies of his newest book, Bruce Lee, Woodstock and Me at Barnes & Noble in Palm Desert on Sunday, March 25th at 2pm. The visionary showman is best known for founding the landmark Greenwich Village club The Bitter End (which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2012); for launching numerous careers, including Bill Cosby, Joan Rivers, Woody Allen and Neil Diamond; championing the making of the “Woodstock” film (saving Warner Bros. Pictures in the process); discovering the martial arts sensation Bruce Lee and producing the classic film “Enter the Dragon,” along with forty other motion pictures with Steve McQueen, George C. Scott, Robert Duvall, Kirsten Dunst and dozens of others. Bruce Lee, Woodstock and Me is an insightful, funny memoir, in which Weintraub confronts foreign dictators, mobsters, movie executives, red-baiting producers, and difficult stars on his fifty-year journey through the entertainment business. With an insider’s ear and an outsider’s low tolerance for bull, Weintraub looks back on his show-business journey, as well as his personal life, with both affection and attitude. His recollections of hedonistic Cuba in the ‘50s, network television in the McCarthy era, Greenwich Village in the ‘60s, and the world of movie making from the ‘70s to today are evocative, revealing and laced with one-liners that would make his comic discoveries proud. It's a trip not to be missed. For more information on Fred Weintraub: www.fredweintraub.com
