About the Book

A spectacular look at the life of an aspiring Hollywood actress in the 1980s over a 3-month period. In 1987, author Steven Kunes began his morning visits to the Alfred Coffee Shop on Melrose Place in L.A. He soon found himself seated within earshot of a regular group of aspiring young actresses...and couldn't believe the things he overheard. It didn't take long for Kunes to make notes of these conversations, which he did in the composition book he carried specifically for this mission. Over time, one by one, the actresses would disappear, only to be replaced by a new Hollywood arrival. When one composition book was filled, Kunes began another -- and in 1992 these journals would be packed in a box only to sit in an attic for the next 25 years. When they popped up in the fall of 2017 during a move, Kunes decided to fashion a narrative from some of what was documented, and "Uncle Jerry to Win" is a result of that effort. Much has changed in the last three decades, and what appears in these pages may seem of little relevance in our virtual daily lives. However, frozen moments in time are the real precious jewels in this world, according to Robert Frost. In that spirit, get ready for an interesting ride. "This is an exceptional work of literature by a storyteller at the absolute top of his game." -- Anne Tyler
About the Author: Steven Kunes grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and attended New York University where he majored in Creative Writing and Comparative Literature. In 1983, TV legend Norman Lear hired Kunes to write and develop half-hour comedies for his company, Embassy Television. This led to assignments in the areas of one-hour TV, movies-of-the-week, and eventually to motion pictures. Presently, Kunes is the creator and executive producer of "Over My Dead Body," an original comedy series for Amazon Prime. Kunes resides in Los Angeles.
