Five decades, 120 productions. Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Al Pacino, Keanu Reeves, Christopher Nolan, Steven Soderbergh, Oliver Stone. Two children, seven cities. Love and loss, creation and transformation. Continuity By Bonnie Clevering: Life Beyond the Credits (Sept. 9. Punctuate Press) is the pictorial memoir of Academy member Bonnie Clevering, one of the most accomplished and revered Motion Picture Hair Designers. Through intimate stories and pictures, Bonnie shares her Hollywood experience and how it created and shaped her relationships – and how she left her mark on Hollywood.
 
Written by Bonnie with her son Jason, Continuity is a remarkable story of perseverance and creativity that includes countless stories and side-stories: nearly burning Elvis' pompadour off, making her infamous recipe of biscuits and gravy for dinner in a private Vegas villa for George Clooney, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Brad Pitt, and Julia Roberts in their search for "home cooking" while filming Ocean’s 11, adventures with "The Vampires" through The Twilight Saga, and inspirations for the hairstyles of movie history’s most-watched characters. Bonnie also shares deeply about being a woman in Hollywood, the consequences of saying “no” (and “yes”), single motherhood, and legacy.

When Continuity is released in September, it will uniquely come in two formats: a paperback memoir, and a beautiful hardcover coffee table book. While both include never-before-seen and behind-scenes photos all snapped by Bonnie, the stunning gold liquid metal de-embossed coffee table book is nearly 500 pages with more than 700 photos of actors, actresses, and friends dating from 1965 to 2018.
                                                          
“I wouldn’t say I’m a photographer, but I am more of a storyteller, preserving life's fleeting scenes by freezing the personalities that bring each one to life. As I sat down with the archive of bonds formed, I also sat down with the wisdom I gained, memories treasured, and silent battles I went through on and off those sets. With this, I discovered my philosophy: continuity—we strive to find balance in this endless dance of sorrows and joys,” said Bonnie on finding the universal throughline of this book.
