Bøker av Ann Snuggs

This is the HARDBACK version. In an era when aspiring actors desperately sought studio connections, young Dickie Jones did not. Possessor of a load of multiple talents and under the guidance of his mother, he moved from studio to studio - dancing, acting, riding. Dickie had that most desirable gift for every actor - believability. In his independence, Dickie walked off with one of the plum juvenile roles of his time - the voice of Pinocchio for Walt Disney. As he geared up to sing "No Strings on Me" he might have been singing his personal theme song. In NO STRINGS: IN SEARCH OF DICKIE JONES, Ann Snuggs has shared Dick's stories from his days on the silver screen in combination with her research on the films and people involved. Come search for the real Dick "Dickie" Jones.

This is the HARDBACK version. Dick Jones: Where the Action Was is a nostalgic look back at two of the most action-packed early television Westerns aimed at the juvenile audience, The Range Rider and Buffalo Bill, Jr. One man had a starring role in both of these shows, Dick Jones, a former child actor and talented athlete. The focus is on action. From Dick's tales of fights that took hours of choreography to action sequences that went wrong to rodeo personal appearances with the Range Rider (Jock Mahoney), his friend and co-star, Dick was always where the action was. The reader will be, too, via Dick's stories and commentary by the author. Step back to the fifties and ride again with Dick Jones in The Range Rider and Buffalo Bill, Jr.
