{"product_id":"the-exotic-ones-jimmy-mcdonough-9781913051181","title":"The Exotic Ones: That Fabulous Film-Making Family from Music City, USA - The Ormonds","description":"June. Ron. Tim. Together they were the Ormond Organization, a Nashville mother-father-son trio who cranked out a wild bunch of movies, from Lash LaRue westerns to the stripper-gore-musical outrage The Exotic Ones, then finally... Baptist extravaganzas. The Ormonds plunged into every area of showbiz, from vaudeville to drive-in movies to Christian filmmaking. They did it all on a shoestring - by themselves, with no studio to back them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheirs was a glittery world like no other. Populated by inebriated cowboys ... spook-show mentalists ... non-acting country stars ... UFO testifiers ... men in gorilla suits ... egocentric magicians ... fire-breathing, mud-wrestling ex-strippers ... sweaty preachers ... rockabilly monsters ... pint-sized evangelists. Not to mention a con artist or ten. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the height of their frenzied career Ron and June experienced a spiritual awakening after their private plane crashed on the way to a premiere. The Ormonds turned their back on secular show business to make a series of shocking, surreal religious pictures, including an unbelievable trio of films for Baptist preacher Estus Pirkle - such as The Burning Hell, which made millions without ever being shown in an actual movie theater. The inside story on the three Ormond-Pirkle religious pictures has never been told - until now. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForensic biographer Jimmy McDonough interviewed June Ormond extensively and she revealed things she told no other soul. June was the guiding force of the family, a woman who held her own in the cutthroat male-dominated world of low-budget independent film. Her commentary is hilarious, brutally honest and at times heartbreaking. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Nicolas Winding Refn, The Exotic Ones is a landmark work by Jimmy McDonough, and a beautifully designed feast for the eyes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOversized format quarter-bound hardcover with gilt edged pages, presented in a stunning gold embossed, textured laminate slipcase with bellyband.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jimmy McDonough\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913051188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913051181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FAB Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.83h x 12.13w x 1.71d","brand":"Jimmy McDonough","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44132731224319,"sku":"9781913051181","price":129.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c66918f-b3ee-4814-a096-8cd45aece324.jpg?v=1687481963","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-exotic-ones-jimmy-mcdonough-9781913051181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
