Beneath the bronzed façade is a mischievous mind with a wicked wit. George Hamilton doesn't miss a thing. With a front row seat for classic Hollywood's biggest secrets and scandals, George has the intelligence, heart, and unflappable spirit to tell his story, and the story of Tinseltown's heyday, with great good humor and delicious candor -- as only he can. From Where the Boys Are to Dancing with the Stars; from Mary Pickford to Elizabeth Taylor; from smalltown Arkansas to the capitals of Europe -- it's all here, and George has lived to tell and to laugh about it. As the child of a Dartmouth-educated bandleader father and a glamorous Southern debutante mother whose marriage crumbled early on, George had a childhood filled with misadventures and challenges that his mother always seemed able to turn from tragedy to comedy. Her idea of changing the family's fortunes involved a trip cross-country with three sons and a poodle in a Lincoln Continental, making stops along the way to search for husband/father number three. And she was quick to recognize that George's potential success lay in Hollywood. George starved nobly for his art in the late 1950s, but was soon starring in major motion pictures directed by the likes of Vincente Minnelli and Louis Malle. He has forgotten more about Hollywood than most movie experts will ever know and shares intimate and hugely entertaining stories of his friendships with Cary Grant; Brigitte Bardot; Robert Mitchum; Merle Oberon; Mae West; Sammy Davis, Jr.; and Judy Garland -- not to mention Lyndon B. Johnson and Elvis's Colonel Tom Parker as well as the King himself -- among others. The world is Hamilton's oyster, and this ultimate insider is ready to share it with us. So fasten your seat belt. We'll tell you when it's safe to move about the cabin again.

Book excerpt: This is an intimate look at behind-the-scenes Hollywood, as George Hamilton shares fifty years of wild tales as a quintessential insider. He has had the front row seat for some of the most amazing episodes in Hollywood’s hidden history. He was present at the Cleopatra wrap party where Richard Burton declared his love for Elizabeth Taylor (in front of Taylor’s husband, Eddie Fisher); he witnessed one of Judy Garland’s suicide attempts; and he married (and divorced) the future Mrs Rod Stewart before she was a star. And Hamilton’s experience extends well beyond Tinseltown: he went hunting in a convertible with LBJ while dating the President’s daughter; found himself skinny-dipping with JFK; and danced the tango with Imelda Marcos. The world is his oyster, and in this memoir he shares its pearls with us. Hamilton’s in-the-know tales are delivered with his signature self-deprecating wit and timeless elegance. George Hamilton received a seven-year contract from MGM in 1958. During the 60s he appeared in films alongside legends such as Kirk Douglas and Olivia DeHavilland. He began a TV career in 1969 and has since appeared in many many movies and TV series includingi Dynasty, Love at First Bite and The Godfather III. He lives in Los Angeles. The book has been written with William Stadiem the co-author of the New York Times bestsellers, Mr. S and Marilyn Monroe Confidential.

Book excerpt: The Instant New York Times Bestseller "From “Family Guy” to his own Instagram account, Janetti has been behind some of his generation’s greatest comedy. This book of essays is no exception." — The New York Times Fans of David Sedaris, Jenny Lawson, and Tina Fey... meet your new friend Gary Janetti. Gary Janetti, the writer and producer for some of the most popular television comedies of all time, and creator of one of the most wickedly funny Instagram accounts there is, now turns his skills to the page in a hilarious, and poignant book chronicling the pains and indignities of everyday life. Gary spends his twenties in New York, dreaming of starring on soap operas while in reality working at a hotel where he lusts after an unattainable colleague and battles a bellman who despises it when people actually use a bell to call him. He chronicles the torture of finding a job before the internet when you had to talk on the phone all the time, and fantasizes, as we all do, about who to tell off when he finally wins an Oscar. As Gary himself says, “These are essays from my childhood and young adulthood about things that still annoy me.” Original, brazen, and laugh out loud funny, Do You Mind If I Cancel? is something not to be missed.
