Line 59: == In-Work Examples == * The premise of ''[[Finding Forrester]]'' involves [[Sean Connery\|Forrester]] being a [[One -Book Author]]. {{spoiler\|In the end, [[Subverted Trope\|he writes a second book]].}} * Ditto for the plot of ''Wonder Boys.'' * The end of the film ''Croupier'' has the protagonist, a novelist and casino dealer, having completed and published his [[Roman aà Clef]], realize that it is probably better for him to quit while he's ahead and not write another novel. * ''Stone Reader'' is a documentary about this trope following a dedicated reader who tracks down an obscure but brilliant [[One -Book Author]] and helps get his book republished. == One-Film Directors == Line 74: * Writer Steve Gordon had a very weak heart, and died shortly after completing his first directorial effort, ''[[Arthur (Film)\|Arthur]]'', in 1981. * ''The Brave'' is the only film that [[Johnny Depp]] has directed. Terrible reviews from American critics not only led him to leave directing but also [[No Export for You\|refuse any offers for an American release of the film]]. * While certainly not a literal [[One -Book Author]], Stephen King's sole directing credit is on ''[[Maximum Overdrive (Film)\|Maximum Overdrive]].'' As he considers the movie something of an [[Old Shame]], this is likely to stay the case. == One-Film Actors == Line 136: * "Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight", the sole single of Dominatrix. * Another one single band would be The Normal (who were really a solo project by Daniel Miller) - not counting an improvised live collaboration with Robert Rental, the only release was the single ''T.V.O.D. \ Warm Leatherette''. Miller has had other musical projects, but is now mainly a [[Record Producer]]. The lone single was pretty influential to such genres as [[New Wave (Music)\|New Wave]], [[Post Punk]] and electroclash - "Warm Leatherette" in particular gets covered a lot. * After a turbulent career filled with constant recording and re-recording of their debut album, scrapping sessions with famous producers like Mike Hedges, John Leckie and John Porter before settling on Steve Lillywhite, The La's managed to produce one [[Self -Titled Album]] before collapsing due to Lee Mavers' insane perfectionism. * The band Lincoln released a [[Self -Titled Album]] in 1997 and became an opening act for [[They Might Be Giants]]. After they broke up in 1998 without releasing a follow-up, guitarist Dan Miller and bassist Danny Weinkauf joined TMBG's backing band and have been there ever since. * Early 90s Britpop band Starclub had a Top 10 US alt-rock radio hit, "Hard To Get", but broke up after only one album. * 1970s power-pop trio The Nerves released one four-song EP and broke up shortly after. Blondie released [[Covered Up\|their own cover version of "Hanging on the Telephone,"]] and two of the members founded the Plimsouls, scoring an 80s hit with "A Million Miles Away." Line 174: == Video Games == * Yoshiki Kurin has only one role in her [[Seiyuu\|voice actor]] credits: Yumi Saotome, one of the main heroines of the wildly successful ([[No Export for You\|in Japan]]) [[Dating Sim]] ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]''. She now works as a fashion designer. * Kanako Okada, the odd-woman-out of the [[All -Star Cast]] of ''[[Mitsumete Knight (Video Game)\|Mitsumete Knight]]'' (a [[Spiritual Successor]] of ''Tokimeki Memorial''), has voiced Hanna Shawski, one of the main heroines of that franchise, and no other role afterwards. * Many of the Japanese VAs of the [[Kingdom Hearts]] series (especially, those from the Japanese Disney dubs) have never worked in other works (anime, games and otherwise) besides those games or they only did foreign dubs but not Anime or anything locally created: ** Some of the more [[Egregious]] examples are Riko Hanamura (Japanese VA for [[The Lion King\|Nala]]) who only does foreign dubs, but not anime or Japanese games. Takashi Aoyagi ([[Mickey Mouse]]), Risa Uchida (Kairi),Iku Nakahara (Namine) and Mayumi Suzuki ([[Mulan]]) are practicaly typecasted as those characters, and in the case of Ms. Suzuki, she is typecasted as the ''eternal Japanese voice of Disney heroines'', and nothing else. Line 193: [[Category:Alice and Bob]] [[Category:One Book Author]] [[Category:Trope]][[Category:Pages with comment tags]]
