How It Happened (hardback) - Hardcover

by Gary Clarke (Author)

This is the HARDBACK version. "HOW IT HAPPENED" The title pretty much says it. The ups. The downs. The good and the bad. The feasting and the famining. And the people. There were always the people. And what incredible people they were. It's hard even now to think that I told Lee J. Cobb, in real life, to stick his cigar "where the sun don't shine." Or to relive the moment of being kissed by one of the most beautiful women in the world. Or singing with a world renowned orchestra in front of 40 million people and bombing. Accolades, being afraid, escapades and renegades. At least two childhood dreams fulfilled (always wanted to be an actor and a cowboy). 'Twas sometimes a whirlwind, sometimes The Dead Sea. But never, ever dull. And always finding the opportunity to laugh my a - - off, which I hope you will do as you peruse the pages of this titillating tome.
