He has an amazing encounter with Mario Lanza, tracks down and spends three days with Elvis Presley at the time when he was an American soldier in Germany, and under strict orders not to speak to the press. He admits he became, for a time, a complete hedonist and was 'arrogant, conceited and totally insufferable', going through sports cars like a frustrated racing driver. His racy anecdotes about the other stars he met are fascinating - Sophia Loren, Errol Flynn, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Yul Brynner, Clark Gable, Dean Martin, Rock Hudson, Frank Sinatra, Jayne Mansfield, Cary Grant, Paul Newman, Joan Collins, Peter O'Toole and Sean Connery are just a few who either reveal some of their secrets or give him unusual encounters. Tomkies describes how disillusionment finally sets in with both his work and himself - and why, at 38 he decides to start a new life and flies off to Canada. Long-demanded by Mike's numerous fans, this searingly-honest and wide-ranging adventurous tale of his first life, will be of huge appeal to a very wide audience including anyone interested in the stars, celebrities and their biographies.
This is a book which has it all - true-life adventures and stories of the stars all laced with exceptionally funny anecdotes.
