In this memoir, George Hamilton shares his life story, from growing up with an elitist but broke mother who shipped him to boarding schools and boyfriends' homes, to having an MGM contract that launched his five-decade long acting career. George has appeared in films, television shows, Broadway musicals, and commercials of all types. With candour and a self-deprecating wit, George details his entire career, which began on the studio lots of MGM and brought him to Rome in the 1960's jet-set era where he wined, dined and became friends with epic stars including Cary Grant, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Burton, Natalie Wood, Lauren Bacall, Judy Garland - and witnessed all of their fights and pitfalls.

"Charming...hilarious..."-- "Vanity Fair" "Flashy and funny, with flamboyance to burn, just like Hamilton."-- "Kirkus Reviews" "Hamilton is a witty raconteur, and has...a genuine sense of humor about himself." -- "Publishers Weekly" "[Hamilton] is smarter, edgier and sexier than one might expect. And he lives to entertain you!"-- Liz Smith, "New York Post" "Juicy...self-deprecating and witty."-- "The Los Angeles Times" "[T]he reigning mood of this book...is self-deprecating good humor. And its stories are star-studded and wild..."-- Janet Maslin, "The New York Times"
