The best-kept secret in the entertainment industry is how much actors, including award-winning major stars, distrust directors and how directors, in turn, fear actors. UCLA professor, acting coach, and actress Delia Salvi addresses this problem in her book Friendly Enemies: Maximizing the Director-Actor Relationship. Based on a course the author designed in the mid-1970s, and still teaches at UCLA, the book guides young directors in film and television in how to work with actors, as well as how to analyze scripts. Friendly Enemies is divided into seven chapters focusing on key topics such as understanding the actor, the director's self-knowledge, the language of the actor, the director's preparation, casting, rehearsal, and working on the set. An additional chapter includes directors' notes for the script, character analysis, and a scene breakdown from a section of the classic movie On the Waterfront. The book also includes author interviews with entertainment professionals Burt Brinckerhoff, well-known producer and director of the successful television series 7th Heaven, and director of over 46 TV shows, including episodes of Touched by an Angel, Beverly Hills 90210, Magnum P.I., Moonlighting, and The Bob Newhart Show; Todd Holland, Emmy-winning director of the comedy series Malcolm in the Middle as well as The Larry Sanders Show, Felicity, My So-Called Life, and Twin Peaks; Alexander Payne, director of the award-winning film Election as well as Citizen Ruth; Mark Rydell, director of such films as On Golden Pond and The Rose; Brad Silberling, film director of the box-office smash City of Angels, with Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage, as well as television director of such shows as Judging Amy and NYPD Blue; Audrey Wells, director of the films Under the Tuscan Sun and Guinevere, and screenwriter for such films as The Kid, starring Bruce Willis, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, and George of the Jungle; Geena Davis, star of The Accidental Tourist, Thelma and Louise, and A League of Their Own, as well as three television series; Anthony Franciosa, star of stage, screen, and television; and Barry Primus, who's recently appeared in such films as Life as a House and 15 Minutes as well as on such television shows as The Practice, X-Files, and Law and Order.
Moms and daughters. They can go from best friends to mortal enemies with breakneck speed. From boyfriends to curfews and from outfits to eating habits, mothers and daughters often end up in conflict about everything. Now with Side by Side, mothers finally have a proven program to help navigate their relationship with their daughters of any age.

Being a mom is hard work, and this practical and accessible explanation of the most important role you will ever play steers you through even the roughest waters, including the hot-button issues of sex, money, and divorce. With exercises, guided conversations, journaling, and real-world stories, this book takes the mother-daughter relationship, regardless of its current state, and leads it toward a new level of understanding, love, and true connection.
