Barry Monush, a researcher for the Paley Center for Media, drops by Movie Addict Headquarters on November 15 to discuss his work as editor of the latest volume of the beloved annual series, Screen World. Barry is also co-author of Lucille Ball FAQ and author of  Music on Film: West Side Story, Encyclopedia of Hollywood Film Actors: From the Silent Era to 1965, Hollywood Musicals: Year by Year, and Everybody’s Talkin’: The Top Films of 1965-1969.

It’s no surprise that Barry lists his major interests as “Movies, Motion Pictures, and Film – in that order.” However, he can also be counted on for trivia pertaining to television, theater and musicals. He confesses “only being qualified to do jobs that require watching television during working hours.”    

Published by Applause Theatre & Cinema Books, Barry’s comprehensive Screen World 2010 Volume 62 offers cast and crew listings, thumbnail synopses, and over 1,000 color and black-and-white photos. It’s outstanding features include: a color photo section of highlights; an index with over 19,000 entries; full-page photos of the four Academy Award-winning actors (Colin Firth, Natalie Portman, Melissa Leo and Christian Bale) as well as photos of all the acting nominees; a look at the year’s most promising new screen personalities; a biographical reference to more than 2,500 living stars; and obituaries for 2010. It's a truly gorgeous addition to this already impressive book series!
