Sybil says: I have been so fortunate in my life to have met or
worked with so many icons from the musical world, the stage and
radio world, and, of course, the motion picture world. This third
book of mine spans several generations--Patrick Swayze, Rudy
Vallee, Jane Wyman, touching on Jack Benny, George Burns and Bob
Hope, to name just a few. And for a change of pace I profile the
creme de la creme of the directors who fortunately guided me
through each film. Please enjoy this nostalgic trip of icons you
are so familiar with on screen, which I have tried to present to
you not as written characters but as real flesh and blood people.
Blessings to you one and all. "I have known the redoubtable Ms.
Jason for many years and I've known her work for many more. We
'former kid stars' stick together no matter the generation. Sybil's
support of our mission at A Minor Consideration is what keeps us
going. She knows. She's been there. She's more than an entry in
Trivial Pursuit. Enjoy WHATS IT ALL ABOUT, SYBIL with my complete
blessings." - Paul Petersen, one of the original Mouseketeers
