"An inspiring and heartfelt memoir about the friendship between eight women forged over two decades. The eight Drummond Girls first met in 1991 at Peegeo's Food & Spirits in northern Michigan where, at the time, they were all waitresses, bartenders, or regular customers. When one of them got engaged, they celebrated with a trip to Drummond Island-- their first trip together to the remote 36-mile chunk of rock, dive bars, dirt roads, and beautiful forests-- and it's where they became bonded forever." --

Este libro es el primero de una serie de tres volúmenes que se editarán en el futuro. Como el de directores, que salió justamente un año antes, el "Diccionario de actores" es un texto informativo con casi 500 biofilmografías de intérpretes cinematográficos de todo el mundo. El libro se compone de una pequeña nota biográfica y una filmografía completa de cada actor, que contiene: año de producción, título original y, en caso de estreno en España, título en castellano, así como el nombre del director. La selección es inevitablemente incompleta, pero insistimos en que, previsiblemente y en función de su aceptación, este trabajo tendrá continuidad. Como podrá comprobar el lector se ha incidido, sobre todo, en los actores más jóvenes, a los que resulta más difícil ubicar o cuya filmografía es menos sencilla de encontrar, sin olvidar a los más grandes mitos de la historia del cine.
