"Forget being an actor. You don't have the look, you don't have the
talent, and your name is ridiculous. You are the last guy I would
ever pick to be a movie star." This was the first piece of advice
Steve Guttenberg ever received from an agent. Like many other times
in his life, he didn't listen. In this honest, charming memoir,
Guttenberg tells a Horatio Alger story of how he became the star of
some of the '80s most successful blockbusters. He spent his early
days sneaking onto the Paramount lot (he pretended to be Michael
Eisner's son) and meeting more celebrities and casting agents than
most aspiring actors ever would. Even before the hit "Police
Academy" (which his agent said would be a flop), he had already
worked with everyone from Sir Laurence Olivier to Mickey Rourke.
Perhaps it was his charisma or perhaps it was his dogged
persistence, but his life was filled with unexpected run-ins and
connections with dozens of Hollywood hit makers. Guttenberg has
lived through the addictive pull of show business and worldwide
celebrity (You're no one until you have a stalker, he learns). With
a wide-eyed appreciation for the one-of-a-kind experiences that the
high altitude celebrity lifestyle has to offer, he knew that his
family would keep him grounded and never let him forget where he
came from. His self-awareness and sense of humour about the ups and
downs of fame make this one of the most sympathetic and unguarded
Hollywood stories to date.
