Welcome, my name is Dave Smith. For several years I served as a local movie host
in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. I've designed this site primarily for those who are interested in the "Golden Age"
of motion pictures--the 1930's and 1940's. Additionally there will be information on films from other years,
including current films. Particular attention will be given to actors, actresses, directors, and other film artists
from my native state of Indiana.
Please note that my book, "Hoosiers in Hollywood" is now sold out. A second edition will be published in late
2009 or early 2010. There are some used copies available on amazon.com.
. Click on the site menu below for more information
about this book.

amazon.com: "Spanning 596 pages in an oversized format, and nicely printed
on coated paper stock, 'Hoosiers in Hollywood' is clearly a labor of
love for its author. Smith's biographical sketches are well-written and
researched. Wherever possible he has included quotes about their
roots.Marjorie Main once said of Ma Kettle, 'I don't think I could have
ever played that role if I hadn't lived on a farm in Indiana.' I doubt if there's a detail he's overlooked, and his appendices
cover such unclassifiable contributors to the movie world as industry czar
Will Hays and agent-turned-mogul Jules Stein. 'Hoosiers in Hollywood is an entertaining, attractive, and
surprisingly interesting coffee table book."
