This is unvarnished Jack for Jack lovers and Jack skeptics but, also, for anyone interested in the state of American culture and celebrity.

Praise for Five Easy Decades: How Jack Nicholson Became the Biggest Movie Star in Modern Times ""Dennis McDougal is a rare Hollywood reporter: honest, fearless, nobody's fool. This is unvarnished Jack for Jack-lovers and Jack-skeptics but, also, for anyone interested in the state of American culture and celebrity. I always read Mr. McDougal for pointers but worry that he will end up in a tin drum off the coast of New Jersey.""-- Patrick McGilligan, author of Jack's Life and Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light Praise for Privileged Son: Otis Chandler and the Rise and Fall of the L.A. Times Dynasty ""A great freeway pileup--part biography, part dysfunctional family chronicle, and part institutional and urban history, with generous dollops of scandal and gossip.""
-- Hendrick Hertzberg, The New Yorker ""McDougal has managed to scale the high walls that have long protected the Chandler clan and returned with wicked tales told by angry ex-wives and jealous siblings.""
--The Washington Post Praise for The Last Mogul: Lew Wasserman, MCA and the Hidden History of Hollywood ""Real glamour needs a dark side. That is part of the fascination of Dennis McDougal's wonderful book.""
--The Economist ""Thoroughly reported and engrossing . . . the most noteworthy trait of MCA was how it hid its power.""
--The New York Times Book Review ""Over the years, I've read hundreds of books on Hollywood and the movie business, and this one is right at the top.""
-- Michael Blowen, The Boston Globe

Quality Watch
Color: 5566-ZP-white face
A very nice looking inexpensive watch for work if you are in a job that you don't want to wear an expensive watch.

As Advertised
Color: 5535-HP-white
The watch is what I expected, and works upon receipt as advertised. At this price, if it only works for 4-6 months it's easily worth the money. Large, nice looking face, day/date. Wristband is what you'd expect, but adequate and comfortable.

Dies after a Year
Color: 5566-ZP-white face
Watch worked fine for about a year, then just stopped working - just like that. No amount of shaking or gentle impacts would get it to start ticking again.
I'd also say my biggist issue with it was it was always difficult to tell which hand was the second hand and which hand was the minute hand since they're both the same color and thickness. Wish the hour and minute hands were a little thicker so they'd stand out a little better and/or that the minute hand was a different color so it was offset. Resulted in having to study the watch to get the time instead of a quick glimpse to see what time it was. Irritating after a while.
