Description
Bernie Rothman wrote popular, classic TV shows like "My Three Sons" and produced career-defining specials for stars like Judy Garland, George Burns, Diana Ross, Burt Reynolds, and Rudolf Nureyev. In this memoir, Rothman wittily describes his dealings with these male and female divas, from witnessing Peggy Lee trashing the Andrews Sisters to dragging Nureyev out of the bathtub minutes before airtime. Along the way, he reveals the secrets of writing a good sitcom, making Hollywood and Me both an insider's guide to success in Hollywood and a delightful record of a treasured time.
Editorial Review
"Hollywood and Me is a light, pleasurable read by someone who learned from the best how to entertain a crowd."
