ACTOR IN AN Art Business: The Hollywood of William Holden

The author of this manuscript is dyslexic. I suppose that means that I see things backwards. Also, I tend to skip steps in the chain of logic and replace them with powerful intuitive responses. Through my writing, I have achieved originality. I have functioned with dyslexia all my life, but I have learned to make an asset of it. My dyslexia diagnosis is fundamental to my work as a writer. My dyslexia is not something to be suppressed, as my goal is to use this manuscript to encourage others with the same disability. I was able to obtain a Bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago, work successfully as a play reader for the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), and finally as an employment interviewer for the Labor Department of the State of New York. Looking back on life at 80 years of age, I have never had a job that I didn't like or was not able to excel in.

I am sharing my life-long history with dyslexia, as encouragement to others with similar disabilities. By sharing this information, my desire is to encourage others with the same or similar disabilities. I have authored a manuscript that has the viewpoint that is a product of a singular mode of perception, and has a distinct value in its presentation. My work is no less valid due to my penchant for skipping steps in the expected chain of logic in didactic writing. I have presented a valid depiction of my subject, William Holden.

Overall, this is an ambitious undertaking. As an author, I have endeavored consistently to create a work that is based on good scholarship and depicts the career of William Holden honestly and with admiration.
