"Hans Conried was once described by the well-known Hollywood gossip columnist Hedda Hopper as "a high strung, droll fellow, plagued by a multitude of talents." Conried was indeed a talented and versatile actor, but his versatility made it difficult for him to find his niche as an actor.". "Hans Conried gets the recognition he deserves in this work. Part One covers his birth in 1917 and his early years, the launch of his career as a radio actor, his move to motion pictures, his marriage, and his military service in World War II. Part Two deals with the decline of radio and his first television performances, and his involvement with such productions as The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T, The Twonky, Peter Pan, Can-Can, and numerous others. Part Three details his work with Jack Paar (Conried became a semi-regular "television personality" on the early Tonight Show), his summer stock theater work, his various guest spots, and cartoon voice work. Part Four discusses Conried's final years through his death in 1982."--BOOK JACKET.

"Living in the shadow of a famous parent can have powerful effects. Some children of stars are proud of their roots while others live in secrecy. Here is a rare look into the private lives of the children (and, in a few cases, grandchildren) of Hollywood icons, revealing the stresses and inspirations of living with great performers who may or may not have been great parents." "From the bedtime stories Harpo Marx and his wife told their four adopted children to explain where they'd come from, to the studded belt Bing Crosby used to punish his sons, this work tells the best and worst of growing up in a celebrity home." "Families covered include those of W.C. Fields, the Marx Brothers, Eddie Cantor, Mario Lanza, Ruth Hussey, Jerry Lewis, Douglas Fairbanks and Boris Karloff. Research is drawn from interviews with celebrity offspring, who also provided never-before-published snapshots of Hollywood legends at home."--Jacket.
