Item Description
Hardcover 1972 Good to Fair condition
As a famed talent agent on Broadway, and later as casting director at MGM, Billy Grady had to act as Father Confessor, Bootlegger, Bail Bond Broker and even Best Man for some of the best-known names in show business. And as a man who has touched base at every celebrity spa from Dinty Moore's in Manhattan to Dave Chasen's in Hollywood, he has scores of stories to tell about them. How he discovered Van Johnson, Donna Reed, Dan Dailey, Howard Keel. How he played matchmaker for Jimmy Stewart. How his client, Ruby Keeler, was bothered by a guy named Al Jolson. How he signed up Marilyn Monroe for ASPHALT JUNGLE and Elizabeth Taylor for NATIONAL VELVET.
Grady knew them all, and in one of the most entertaining books about the entertainment business in many years, he tells all.
