I'm the author of DARK VICTORY: THE LIFE OF BETTE DAVIS - now in paperback! - and other film-related books. My latest book, FILM STUDIES, is an introductory college-level textbook and will come out in December. I'm gay and live in New York City with a wonderfully supportive guy who, conveniently, does medical research. And I'm starting a new book - I'm cowriting it with an old friend from high school.
