An all-star international cast re-tells the events of the Allied
Landings in Normandy in 1944. Events are seen from various points
of view, including the Germans', in an epic and spectacular style.
Along with the 43 international stars, the film used 23,000 Allied
troops and despite costing over $10 million to make, it has now
become one of the most successful films of its genre. John Wayne,
Robert Mitchum and Henry Fonda head the cast.
A teen idol of the 1950s who virtually invented the
singer/songwriter/heartthrob combination that still tops pop music
today, Paul Anka rocketed to fame with a slew of hits--from "Diana"
to "Put Your Head on my Shoulder"--that earned him a place touring
with the major stars of his era, including Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee
Lewis, and Buddy Holly. He wrote Holly's last hit, and just missed
joining the rocker on his final, fatal plane flight. Anka also
stepped in front of the camera in the teen beach-party movie era,
scoring the movies and romancing their starlets, including Annette
Funicello.
When the British invasion made his fans swoon for a new style of
music--and musician--Anka made sure he wasn't conquered. A
rapier-canny businessman and image-builder who took his career into
his own hands--just as he had from the very beginning, swiping his
mother's car at fourteen to drive himself, underage, to his first
gigs in Quebec--Anka toured the world until he could return home in
triumph. A charter member of the Rat Pack, he wrote the theme music
for "The Tonight Show" as well as his friend Frank Sinatra's anthem
"My Way." By the 1970s, a multi-decade string of pop chart-toppers,
including "Puppy Love" and "(You're) Having My Baby," cemented his
status as an icon.
"My Way" is bursting with rich, rollicking stories of the
business and the people in Anka's life: Elizabeth Taylor, Dodi
Fayed, Tom Jones, Michael Jackson, Adnan Khashoggi, Little Richard,
Brooke Shields, Johnny Roselli, Sammy Davis, Jr., Brigitte Bardot,
Barnum & Bailey Circus acrobats, and many more. Anka is
forthcoming, funny and smart as a whip about the business he's been
in for almost six decades. "My Way" moves from New York to Vegas,
from the casino stage to backstages all over the world. It's the
most entertaining autobiography of the year.
