Book Summary

Collects laugh-out-loud amateur actor headshots and resumes that unintentionally reflected them in less-than-flattering ways, from a nerdy-looking actor who dressed in a cowboy hat and fur jacket to a woman who dressed in pink and held up a pink dog. Original. 100,000 first printing.

Not Just Another Pretty Head Shot

by Alex Cohen

A photographer and a comedy writer went through over 50,000 head shots and picked out those that "took our breath away." The book that resulted is a bizarre tutorial in the art of getting noticed, starring an actress who will only wear pink and other entertaining dreamers.
