The Hollywood Fix
Autor Richard Kirshenbaumen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2026
During Hollywood’s Golden Age, a destitute young man, Bartie Maddox, journeys to Los Angeles and, through his wits, hard work, and talent, becomes the PR fixer to the most important film studio and its studio chief, Solomon Myers. Through his experienced lens, Bartie influences the lives and creation of some of the world’s greatest stars: Duke Drake, Carroll Madison, Mirielle Montaigne, and the heiress, Grace Greystone, La Marquise de Faucigny, exposing how their images are created, managed, and intersect through the Great War and glamor of Tinseltown.
This masterful and sweeping novel is based on true stories from the studio system era and PR machines which have not only created legends but exposed the dirty business of keeping the stars shiny and clean. Bartie’s intricate fixes involve endless scandals of money, sex, captivating personas and even the cover-up of death. But in the end, Bartie’s own studio fix becomes the greatest fix of all.

“The Hollywood Fix by novelist Richard Kirshenbaum, although a simply masterful and sweeping work of literary fiction, is inspired by (and based upon) true stories drawn from the iconic movie studio system era and their PR machines which not only created movie actor/actress legends but kept from exposure the dirty doings of those movie stars (and the studios that made money with them) shiny and clean for public consumption. An exceptional and entertaining read from start to finish, The Hollywood Fix is an extraordinary and highly recommended pick for community library literary fiction collections.”
