Why did Burgess Meredith stage a fake brawl in a Waikiki nightclub? Was Jack Lord really fired from Hawaii Five-0? Eddie Sherman knows — and tells all, in this fascinating peek behind Hawaiis celebrity scene. For more than 40 years, Sherman covered the showbiz beat in the finest three-dot tradition of Walter Winchell. (Yes, hes here too...) Hobnobbing with Elvis. Painting the town with Brando. Sparring with Muhammad Ali. Schmoozing with the stars, from Lenny Bruce to Bette Midler to Sammy Davis, Jr. The central figure in this wonderful supporting cast was Hawaii itself, the Pacific playground where big-name actors, singers and athletes came to escape the spotlight. Well-removed from Hollywood or Las Vegas, the stars could hit the beach and let their hair down, without the screaming crowds, autograph hunters or pesky paparazzi. Eddie Sherman was their welcoming committee and much more — interviewer, tour guide, confidant, friend. In Frank, Sammy, Marlon \u0026amp; Me, Hawaiis premier columnist and raconteur tells this inside story in his own words — of adventures in paradise with the celebrity set.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0977914380\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0977914380.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Eddie Sherman\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
