Opis

One Man's Journey From Hollywood's Golden Age to Out-of-this World Experiences BEYOND HOLLYWOOD tells the story of J. Herbert Klein, an "everyman" who leads a truly extraordinary life. With a Forrest-Gump-like knack for landing in the right place at the right time, a creative and inventive mind, and an enduring curiosity about things beyond the obvious, he is a one-of-a-kind American icon. During Hollywood's Golden Age, Klein was associated with some of the world's richest, most powerful, most celebrated people. He counted Ronald Reagan as a mentor, Frank Sinatra as a friend, Howard Hughes as a boss, Jayne Mansfield as a confidante, and Zsa Zsa Gabor as a leading lady. BEYOND HOLLYWOOD reveals Klein's inside stories of these American icons -- but there's more. A close friend of legendary actor Jon Hall, Klein's adventures include forays into the unusual and unknown, and outright mysteries. Hollywood producer, builder, impresario, inventor, and innovator, after decades of silence, this mover and shaker shares his fascinating, never-before-told stories in BEYOND HOLLYWOOD.
