This first and only in-depth directory to the life and career of
Gordon MacRae pays tribute to a truly versatile entertainer. In an
industry where success is rare and fleeting, MacRae achieved
stardom in six show business arenas: film, theater, radio,
nightclubs and concerts, television, and records. Insights and
quotes from celebrities close to MacRae highlight Bruce R. Leiby's
reference to MacRae's professional accomplishments and honors, his
political and charitable involvements, and his personal struggles
and triumphs. The biography section traces Gordon MacRae's rise
from child performer to award-winning star whose honors include
Emmy nominations, gold and charted records, and a star on the Walk
of Fame. On the personal side, Leiby writes about MacRae's triumph
over alcoholism, his stroke, and the battle with cancer that
claimed his life in 1986. Following the biography is a separate
section on each of MacRae's media credits, listing his achievements
in film, records, Broadway and stock theater, television,
nightclubs and concerts, and radio--including a complete Railroad
Hour radio log. Where applicable, Leiby includes dates, places,
production details, critical reviews, and information on where to
find copies of MacRae's work today. Ending with an annotated
bibliography, a song index, a title index, and a general index,
this is an indispensible reference for libraries and researchers,
as well as fans and students of film, television, radio, theater,
and music.
