Eddie Muller is a contemporary renaissance man. He writes novels, biographies, movie histories, plays, short stories, and films. He also designs books, programs film festivals, curates museums and provides commentary for television, radio, and DVDs. His debut novel, The Distance, earned a “Best First Novel” Shamus Award from the Private Eye Writers of America; he’s a two-time Edgar Award nominee from the Mystery Writers of America, and three times an Anthony Award nominee. Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star, which he cowrote with the actor, was a national bestseller in 2007. His short film, The Grand Inquisitor (2008), starring legendary Hollywood actress (and blacklistee) Marsha Hunt, recently played the international film festival circuit. He produces and hosts NOIR CITY: The San Francisco Film Noir Festival, the largest noir retrospective in the nation, which now has satellite festivals in four other U.S. cities. As founder and president of the Film Noir Foundation, he has been instrumental in “rescuing America’s noir heritage,” which to date has included restoring and preserving (with the UCLA Film & Television Archive) nearly lost classics The Prowler (1951), Cry Danger (1951) and Too Late for Tears (1949).
