• Told in the charming and self-deprecating style that has made him one of America's most beloved celebrities--the real story behind Hollywood legend James Garner, from his Depression-era childhood to his colorful career.
• His incredible story, in his own words.
• One of Hollywood's all-time great leading men, James Garner enjoyed a remarkable career spanning six decades, and whether you know him as Bret Maverick or Jim Rockford, his appeal bridges generations.
• Few know the real story, now told in this intimate memoir of growing up in Depression-era Oklahoma and triumphing in Hollywood.
• After physical abuse at the hands of his stepmother, Garner left home at fourteen.
• He was Oklahoma's first draftee of the Korean War, receiving two Purple Hearts for combat wounds.
• Back in Los Angeles in need of a job, Garner reluctantly tried acting and was surprised to find his career taking off.
• Working with such luminaries as Julie Andrews, Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen, and Clint Eastwood, he became a star in his own right.
• He threw himself into his work, and despite stage fright and bouts of depression, constant physical pain and epic battles with the Hollywood establishment, he became the acting equivalent of a national monument.
