Tanto en España como en Italia se tiende a asociar la figura de Alvaro Vitali con la de Jaimito, hasta tal punto que el público llano piensa que actor y personaje son la misma persona. Para los españoles, Vitali es Jaimito. Pero los italianos, tan zoquetes como nosotros, a Vitali no le saben el nombre Para los italianos, Vitali es tambien Jaimito. O, mejor dicho, Pierino, que es como llaman alli al personaje.La trascendencia de Pierino o Jaimito, personaje de la cultura popular y protagonista de miles de chistes, ha sido tan grande como para que legiones de personas lo asocien a un actor y a un genero concreto. Asi, cualquier comedia sexy italiana, este en ella Alvaro Vitali o no, puede pasar a ser automaticamente una pelicula de Jaimito. En el presente volumen, Victor Olid desglosa y reseña todas las peliculas, oficiales o apocrifas, que han utilizado a Pierino como personaje protagonista, asi como se analiza el impacto que el personaje ha tenido tener en la cultura popular.

Desconozco qué grado de veracidad tienen las imágenes, los recuerdos, las vivencias de esa edad tan temprana, pero en mi mente son tan reales como la vida misma. Dicen que podemos transformarlos, que han podido contarnoslos, y nosotros lo creemos como si lo hubieramos vivido.Los pasajes de mi infancia transcurrieron durante el siglo pasado entre la quinta y la sexta decada, en Rosario, provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina; la denomino Infancia de tierra.

Adriana Lecouvreur fue durante trece años, de 1717 a 1730, la gran actriz de la comedia parisina. Su corta vida, como todas las que están en el camino de la leyenda, está presente dentro del imaginario colectivo. Su fallecimiento, no lo es menos; envuelto en un misterio que se debate entre la muerte por envenenamiento o por disenteria. De la vida de la actriz se hicieron eco los hermanos Manuel y Antonio Machado, con una obra original, no representada hasta la fecha y de la que no se tenian noticias hasta el año 2010, en el que se publico una corta edicion de apenas 200 ejemplares. Nada tiene que ver esta nueva vision de los dramaturgos con la original de Scribe; aqui los hermanos Machado, como en otras ocasiones, mezclaron historia y leyenda, para crear una heroina de nuestro teatro contemporaneo.En este trabajo no se reproduce el texto de la obra teatral, solamente aportamos informacion sobre la vida de esta extraordinaria actriz, y de aquellos textos que se escribieron para teatro, opera y cine a lo largo de dos siglos, hasta llegar al que escribieron Manuel y Antonio Machado. Esperamos que la lectura de estas paginas facilite la lectura de la obra, que esperamos se vuelva a editar pronto.

The long-awaited memoir from iconic, beloved actor and living legend Sir Patrick Stewart!

There are many miles from the business school and basketball court at the University of Southern California to 50 million viewers for the final episode of a TV show called Magnum P.I. Tom Selleck has lived every one of those miles in his own iconoclastic and joyful way. Frank, funny and open-hearted, You Never Know is an intimate memoir from a beloved actor, the story of a remarkable life and thoroughly accidental career. Journey to the top in Hollywood, learn of his mistakes and his well-earned success. Selleck clears up an armload of misconceptions and shares never-told stories. His rambunctious California childhood. His clueless arrival as a good-looking college jock in Hollywood (from the Dating Game to the Fox New Talent Program to co-starring with Mae West). What it was like to emerge as a mega-star in his mid-thirties and remain so for decades to come, an actor whose ease on screen connected with audiences worldwide, while redefining the cliches of manhood. In You Never Know, Selleck recounts his personal friendships with a vivid army of A-listers, everyone from Frank Sinatra to Carol Burnett to Sam Elliott, paying special tribute to his mentor James Garner of The Rockford Files, who believed, like Selleck, that TV protagonists are far more interesting when they have rough edges. He tips his hat to the American western and the scruffy band of actors, directors and other ruffians who helped define that classic genre, where Selleck has repeatedly found a happy home. Magnum fans will be fascinated to learn how Selleck put his career on the line to make Thomas Magnum a more imperfect hero and explains why he walked away from a show that could easily have gone on for years longer.
