But it's not all glitz and glamour - it's also the story of a large Italian family led by a domineering father who's radical ideas on health and nutrition were decades ahead of their time and a sometimes glamorous mother of nine children with a quirky show biz background. The dark side of the business rears its ugly head as the ladies tour with the sleazy Cotton Club Murder victim Roy Radin and just miss what may be the deadliest mob hit of all time - after just a few minutes 165 innocent people were left dead. Backstage untold stories!
Taping The Dean Martin Show, the last successful Christians looking for inspiration, classic TV enthusiasts, beauty pageant aficionados, Frank & Dean fans, or anyone who enjoys reading an uplifting story about good times and great talent - this book appeals to a wide audience. |
