Oral History Book GOLDEN GODDESSES Comes Back To Hollywood On Wednesday, October 16
October 15, 2013For 1st Anniversary, Author Jill Nelson, ‘Goddesses’ Return to Larry Edmunds Bookshop!
HOLLYWOOD, Calif — Author Jill Nelson’s return to the iconic Larry Edmunds Bookstore in Hollywood to celebrate the first anniversary of her oral history of the ’70s Golden Age of Adult Movies, Golden Goddesses, will take place Wednesday night, October 16. Nelson previously co-authored a biography of adult film superstar John C. Holmes, A Life Measured in Inches.
The signing and panel discussion will take place at Larry Edmunds Bookshop in the heart of Hollywood. Larry Edmunds Bookshop has been a source for memorabilia and books about show business for more than 70 years. The signing will include a reading of excerpts from the book, and a Q&A session involving Nelson and ’70s Golden Age performers Ginger Lynn, Georgina Spelvin, Kay Parker, Rhonda Jo Petty, Kitten Natividad, and screenwriter Raven Touchstone. Other ’70s Golden Age luminaries are expected to attend as well.
Weighing in at a massive 950 pages, Golden Goddesses profiles 25 actresses who were active in adult film between 1968 and 1985, when film began to be replaced by videotape as the medium of choice for adult production.
“The interviews were conducted to escort readers toward a clearer understanding of the beautiful and intrepid females who favored an alternative profession in adult cinema that was cultivated at the apex of the 1960s sexual revolution,” Nelson said.
“I’ve been pleased and gratified by the reaction to the book,” Nelson added. “For the fans who remember the Goddesses, it’s a chance to see their careers through their eyes — and for the fans who have only watched adult material on home video, it’s a look into the recent past of the industry, told by the people who were there.”
Larry Edmunds Bookshop is located at 6644 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood. The signing will begin at 7:30 p.m. Seating will be limited, but attendance can be guaranteed with advance purchase of Golden Goddesses while space is available. Call Larry Edmunds Bookshop to order the book or to RSVP at (323) 463-3273.
“I’m looking forward to this,” Nelson said. “The fans of the Goddesses are so loyal, and the Goddesses enjoy seeing and talking with their fans. We had a great time last year, and I can’t wait to do it again.”
For those who cannot make the book signing, Golden Goddesses is available at online bookstores worldwide. It is published by Bear Manor Media and the ISBN is 978-159393298-5.
