For Jackey Neyman Jones, who played Debbie in Manos: The Hands of Fate, the worst movie ever made is, at its heart, a home movie that just happens to be shared with the world.

Equal parts memoir/family saga/film book, Growing Up with Manos: The Hands of Fate shares the behind-the-scenes story of the making of Manos: from creator Hal Warren's alleged bet with TV producer Stirling Silliphant that anyone could make a movie, to the tragic suicide of John Reynolds (Torgo), right up through the newest Manos-related projects that are carrying the film into the digital age.

Jackey's stories dispel much of the Manos mythology while crystallizing a unique time and place in America, where a crew of actors with a bad script and a rented camera set out to make a bad movie-and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

Jackey Neyman Jones is a professional artist living in the Great Northwest.

Laura Mazzuca Toops is a writer/editor with more than 30 years' experience in business and fiction writing.
