Olga Taussky Todd

In this enormously engaging, vibrant, and richly researched biography of Albert Camus, the French writer and journalist Olivier Todd has drawn on personal correspondence, notebooks, and public records never before tapped, as well as interviews with Camus's family, friends, fellow workers, writers, mentors, and lovers. Todd shows us a Camus who struggled all his life with irreconcilable conflicts - between his loyalty to family and his passionate nature, between the call to political action and the integrity to his art, between his support of the native Algerians and his identification with the forgotten people, the poor whites. A vey private man, Camus could be charming and prickly, sincere and theatrical, genuinely humble, yet full of great ambition. The Paris that Camus was inevitably drawn to is one that Todd knows intimately, and he brings alive the war years, the underground activities that Camus was caught up in during the Occupation and the bitter postwar period, as well as the intrigues of the French literati who embraced Camus after his first novel, L'Etranger, was published. Todd is also keenly attuned to the French intellectual climate, and as he takes Camus's measure as a successful novelist, journalist, playwright and director, literary editor, philosopher, he also reveals the temperament in the writer that increasingly isolated him and crippled his reputation in the years before his death and for a long time after. He shows us the solitary man behind the mask - debilitated by continuing bouts of tuberculosis, constantly drawn to irresistible women, and deeply troubled by his political conflicts with the reigning French intellectuals, particularly by the vitriol of his former friend Sartre over the Algerian conflict.

Double Feature contains "White Hot: The Mysterious Murder Of Thelma Todd" and "The Jane Mansfield Story", starring Loni Anderson! "White Hot: The Mysterious Murder Of Thelma Todd" - Welcome to the Hollywood of Raymond Chandler: the city of corruption, double-dealing gangsters, and beautiful young women who come to L.A. to make it big. Thelma Todd (Loni Anderson) arrives in town with dreams of fame and fortune - and she gets them. Todd is the most brilliant leading lady and comedienne of the 1930s. Beloved by everyone and fantastically talented, Toddy, as she is know by her friends and fans, has everything going for her. Her success proves to be unstoppable when she decides to open a nightclub/restaurant which becomes the mandatory hangout for Hollywood's hip and happening. But it's also the hangout for the Los Angeles underworld, including the notorious gangster Lucky Luciano (Robert Davi). Toddy has a well-known penchant for violent and abusive men, but she believes Lucky is different. The mystery and controversy surrounding her sudden, unexplained death suggest otherwise. Her shocking demise remains one of Hollywood's most famous crimes. "The Jane Mansfield Story" - It's Hollywood in the 1950s and everything is big: Big movies, big stars, big fun...and not many come bigger than Jayne Mansfield (Loni Anderson). Her husband, Mickey Hargitay (Arnold Schwarzenegger), remembers the incredible life story of a woman born Vera Jayne palmer. The journey to Jayne Mansfield begins in Dallas, where a sweet, not so dumb, high school student decides that her "blonde bombshell" looks might be her ticket to Hollywood stardom. But Jayne doesn't want to be just a starlet. She longs for serious roles that will give her a chance to use her talent. Mickey can only watch her heart-wrenching struggle, as Jayne fights against her stereotype as a ditzy blonde, but each encounter sends her deeper into despair.
