View, through the eyes of a child and teenager, the scene of
growing up in the glamorous Hollywood of the 1930s and 1940s During
childhood, the author visited or auditioned at almost every major
movie studio in Tinseltown. What was it like to work on the set of
Hal Roach's Little Rascals? To be given a screen test with one of
Hollywood's greatest directors? To be told "never again to call"
the office of Columbia Pictures studio boss, Harry Cohn? To receive
from one of the Marx Brothers, the gift of a camera? Author Laura
June Kenny experienced all this and more. Her memoir provides a
unique look at a Hollywood and a Southern California that is no
more, and cannot be replaced. Born disadvantaged in the worst year
of the Great Depression, her fate was to be discovered and to be
loved by a disparate group of people who inspired her to reach for
the "real stars," and thereby find her stardom. Filled with rare
photos from the author's own collection, this is the story of a
Hollywood moppet turned teacher, writer, public speaker, emcee,
wife, mother, grandmother, and what she learned along the way
