Stephen Schochet

Los Angeles, CA, April 25, 2013 - After collecting literally hundreds of vintage tales of Hollywood legends over the years, professional tour guide Stephen Schochet not only wrote a book that everyone could enjoy on the glamorous, as well as the not so much. As explained in an interview with Reuters, this entrepreneur specialized in telling two kinds of stories to appreciative patrons; origin stories – telling how things we take for granted came to be, and funny anecdotes.  He not only read a lot of books to find his material, but also tried to meet people who were connected to the famous (like housekeepers) that he could garner some tidbits from, and mixed it all in with his several personal encounters with the stars! Stephen's book is a special blend of biography, history and legends that covers scandalous yarns on some of Hollywood’s greatest characters – from John Wayne to Marlon Brando. The book also covers little-known vignettes about such diverse genres from classic westerns like Unforgiven to vintage superhero movies like Superman and Batman.
