Opis

In this fascinating account of her life as a young actress in New York City, and later as "Hollywood's Youngest, Sexiest Producer," writer Barbara Dan pulls no punches, as she describes the many pitfalls actors are likely to encounter on the road to success in show business. At age 23 she opened her own showcase theatre in Hollywood to help other actors get discovered by agents, producers and the studios. Later she worked for the story editor of Shirley Temple Storybook and Dinah Shore Chevy Show, and describes meeting her future husband, actor John Dan, and many other actors, cameramen, gifted people in the industry and her own life-changing conversion to Christ through the Hollywood Christian Group, and shares insights into the false gods of fame, fortune and success and why they fail to deliver. To today's aspiring talent she adds: "Respect yourself. Avoid shortcuts to success. Take the High Road which leads to no regrets. Hone your gifts, and never lose heart."
