(Applause Books). Through conversations with such famous personalities as Tennessee Williams, Federico Fellini, Bette Davis, Woody Allen, Marc Chagall, Golda Meir, Alfred Hitchcock, and many, many others who found work to be their ultimate satisfaction, author Charlotte Chandler shares their insights into love, happiness, and success. She explores their successes in terms of the drive to get there, getting there, and what "there" is really like. The title was suggested by Picasso when he told Chandler, "The passions that motivate you may change, but it is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction." Along with never-before-published photographs, The Ultimate Seduction includes interviews with well-known actors, directors, writers, artists, and others and goes beyond the public image of the celebrity to the private person, revealing the ultimate passion and satisfaction that can be found in work, especially creative work.
