Harris has written two of the best books on film in the last 25 years - Pictures at a Revolution & Five Came Back. Eyman has done the definitive bios of Mayer, DeMille and Wayne.<br /><br />Just my two cents. I will miss Osborne.<br /><br />sasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-46688717987665011522017-03-06T19:29:38.285-06:002017-03-06T19:29:38.285-06:00I really liked the guy.
