This story is inspired by true events based on the life of Michael B. Blacc (as Kamar Washington) and T.N.M. (as Joaquin Parker). T.N.M. is the real-life beloved friend of Michael B. Blacc. When We Were Boys - Book I heavily concentrates on the life of T.N.M. Joaquin Parker escapes from Brooklyn after a gruesome fight that hopefully puts an end to his traumatic past. He is on board a plane, flying to Atlanta to get help from his Aunt Emilia. On the flight, he is fated to meet a man named Kamar Washington.

Aunt Emilia calls Kamar to reveal shocking news as he is battling his murky past. He has to face the atrociousness of the days gone by to find solace in his present ones. When We Were Boys, Book II starts with Young Kamar being separated from his mentally ill guardian, supposedly for his own good. But even after that, Kamar has yet to know what “good” seems like. He has yet to know what a real and loving family feels like — because all he knew was a dysfunctional and nightmarish one. The one that just might shove you in front of a moving vehicle then leave you for dead.

Jack Oakie’s forte was comedy. He appeared in over 100 motion pictures, mostly as a good-natured, somewhat dim-witted buffoon, and often in his early films, in a college setting. Although he co-starred with the likes of Clara Bow, W. C. Fields, Bing Crosby, Alice Faye, Betty Grable, and Doris Day, his most durable performances were in The Call of the Wild (1935) with Clark Gable and Loretta Young, and The Great Dictator (1940) in which he spoofed Benito Mussolini to Charlie Chaplin’s Adolph Hitler.

Claire Trevor was one of the finest character actresses of her day. Often cast as a “lady of the night”, or the alluring blonde female fatale, she co-starred in such classic films as Dead End with Humphrey Bogart, Stagecoach with John Wayne, Murder, My Sweet with Dick Powell, Key Largo with Bogart and Edward G. Robinson, for which she won an Academy Award, and The High and the Mighty with Wayne and an all-star cast.

He was “Ben-Hur", “Moses” in The Ten Commandments, and he did battle with the Planet of the Apes.

Druxman’s one-person stage play, finds the Oscar-winning actor in his final years, shortly after it has been discovered that he suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease.

The Barrymores were “The Royal Family of Broadway”, and Ethel Barrymore was their queen. Along with her brothers, Lionel and John, she was a legendary presence in the theatre and in motion pictures during the first half of the 20th century. In fact, the Barrymores and the Drews were a theatrical family that dated back many generations. 

Michael B. Druxman’s one-person play, Ronald Reagan: Movie Star, joins the actor in 1949, when he has just lost a major film role to Errol Flynn.

 Christopher Lee: A One-Person Play by Michael B. Druxman (Lee’s one-time publicist), joins the actor in 1976, as he is about to depart his home in England for the United States. It is his hope that, in America, he will be able to abandon the horror genre, and find a greater variety of roles. 

Although he had a long career as an actor and director, Paul Henreid is certainly best remembered for two films he made in the early 1940s: Now, Voyager with Bette Davis, and Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Michael B. Druxman’s Paul Henreid is set in 1968 and finds the actor in Nice, France, about to costar in a film with Katharine Hepburn. He has just learned that his friend, the movie’s original director, has quit the production and must decide whether he will do the same.

Druxman’s humorous one-person play, Abe Vigoda, finds the actor with a major problem. The press has, erroneously, announced that he is dead, and his agent’s phone has stopped ringing. Now, Abe has to convince the entertainment industry that he is still with us.

Merv Griffin had a way with stars. They loved him, and he’d given that “big break” to countless young hopefuls who became major celebrities, including Sonny and Cher, Dick Cavett, Richard Pryor, and Tony Orlando and Dawn. Merv was one of America’s best-loved TV personalities. Millions of fans were hooked on his sincerity, intelligence, and showmanship. Merv worked hard to get to the top. Here is the true public, private, and on-stage life of the man who won the hearts of America.

Peter Lorre, Michael B. Druxman’s one-person stage play, finds the famous actor in poor health near the end of his life.

Scare Street journeys into the night to bring you a new volume of skin-crawling terror. This macabre collection contains 13 chilling tales of supernatural horror. And each story will sweep you away to a world of dark dreams and fantastical nightmares.... Some believe that if you see yourself die in your dreams, then your heart will stop. But that’s just an old wives’ tale, isn’t it?

Maureen O’Hara was “the queen of technicolor”. With her bright red hair and piercing green eyes, this Irish colleen’s career spanned over 70 years, as she held her own against such leading men as Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn, James Stewart, Charles Laughton, Henry Fonda, and, of course, John Wayne. Her films include such classics as The Hunchback of Notre Dame, How Green Was My Valley, Rio Grande, The Quiet Man, Miracle on 34th Street, and The Parent Trap.

Michael B. Druxman followed his dreams to Hollywood, and although he may not have "reached the stars", his persistence made it possible for the vast majority of those dreams to come true. His new book My Forty-Five Years in Hollywood and How I Escaped Alive, a memoir, is the story of that remarkable adventure.
