Here are some of the highlights from BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS:

- Barely out of High School, despite having been out on only a date or two, these devoted Catholics joined Dean Martin's Golddiggers for TV, Las Vegas shows and touring all over the country.

- What was Dean REALLY like? Was he the drunken womanizer he played on TV?

- Filming the Dean Martin shows and Roasts with all the stellar guest stars - Orson Welles, Gene Kelley, Loretta Lynn, Dom DeLuise, Ronald & Nancy Reagan, Jonathan Winters, Nipsey Russell, Shirley Jones and many more.

- Appearing with Dean in Las Vegas during the booming 1970s, opening night at the MGM Grand.

- Working with the legendary Louis Prima on his last tour.

- In Vegas and on tour they appeared with Jerry Vale, Bobby Goldsboro, Red Skelton, Steve & Eydie and many others.

- Missing by a few weeks being the victims of the deadliest mob hit in history.

- On the road with Milton Berle, Donald O'Connor and dirty old man George Jessel in the Roy Radin Vaudeville Revue (Roy Radin was the victim in the notorious Cotton Club Murder.).

- A near death experience with Bob Hope.

- And, of course, working with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin together for the last time they toured as a duo - including dates at the Sabre Room in Chicago, The Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, NJ, and the mobbed up Westchester Premier Theatre in New York.
