Product Description
by Alan Roderick-Jones (Author)
Alan Roderick-Jones is one of those rare entertainment industry hyphenates whose illustrious career has never been told before. A London and Hollywood production designer, art director, artist, director and producer Alan's career spans over five decades.
His contributions include such film classics as The Lion in Winter, Nicholas and Alexandra and Papillon. One of the unsung heroes of the design team for the original Star Wars classic (A New Hope), Alan's professional intersections include film industry icons such as Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Katherine Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Marlon Brando and producer Sam Spiegel...as well as the legendary Charles Chaplin.
More than just a fascinating professional saga, Alan's memoir, The Empty Stage is also a warm personal story and a spiritual journey filled with humor, warmth, humanity and visionary perspectives of a world as it can be. Already a hit with "the inner circle" The Empty Stage is a book that will delight (but not surprise) all those who know Alan well.
