About Burt Prelutsky
Burt Prelutsky, a very nice person once you get to know him, was born in Chicago, in 1940, and raised in Los Angeles.
He has been a humor columnist for the L.A. Times and a movie critic for Los Angeles magazine. As a freelancer, he has written for the New York Times, TV Guide, Modern Maturity, Emmy, Holiday, American Film, and Sports Illustrated.

He has been nominated for three WGA awards (winning one), won three Christophers, been nominated for a Humanitas and won an Edgar.
Talk about being well-rounded, he plays tennis and poker ... and rarely cheats at either.
He is the best-selling author of "Conservatives Are From Mars, Liberals Are From San Francisco," and has two books in the pipeline: a collection of interviews, "If Life is a Test," These 56 People Aced It," and a book of witty political commentary, "Liberals: America's Termites or It's a Shame That Liberals, Unlike Hamsters, Never Eat Their Young."
His most recent book is "The Secret of Their Success," a collection of 78 interviews he did with the notable likes of Gerald Ford, Billy Wilder, Art Linkletter, Sid Caesar, Henry Mancini, George Carlin, Gene Kelly, Victor Kiam, Ginger Rogers, Judith Krantz, Dinah Shore, Steve Allen and J. Peter Grace.
The sequel, "If Life is a Test," contains interviews with, among others, Charles Krauthammer, Curt Schilling, Gary Sinise, Joseph Wambaugh, Newt Gingrich, Carl Reiner, Gov. Rick Perry, Pat Sajak, Andrew Breitbart, John Stossel, Reps. Michele Bachmann and Paul Ryan, Joseph Wambaugh, Walter Williams, Karl Malden, Pat Boone, Curt Schilling, Ralph Peters, Norman Corwin and John Bolton.
He lives in the San Fernando Valley, where he takes his marching orders from a wife named Yvonne and a dog named Duke.
