Eddie Cantor was a famous comedian and often a lot of fun to be with, but basically he was a serious man, a devout patriot and a champion for justice.

He made sure his daughters grew up with a strong sense of responsibility and urged them to participate, not just to talk.

Janet is his youngest and only living daughter, and through her we become aware of the convictions with which he endowed his family.

JANET CANTOR GARI is a native New Yorker, daughter of comedian Eddie Cantor, and mother of singer-songwriter-author Brian Gari and singer-actress Amanda Abel.

Having been told all her life...

Mrs. Gari admits that some of the "scams" she revealed in the book are actually just practical jokes, but she contends that practical jokes are, in reality, nonprofit scams. All of the stories are true, preposterous as they might seem. It's interesting that many of the incidents mirror the old movies of her father, Eddie Cantor, where, in the end, the weak underdog always outwitted the culprit.

The daughter of legendary Eddie Cantor turns her focus on her mother in this completely candid work enhanced with rare photos.

This is Mrs. Gari's fourth book published by BearManor Media. You'll meet many celebrities, such as Al Jolson, Groucho and Harpo Marx, Jimmy Cagney, Dinah Shore, Fanny Brice, Bert Williams, Danny Kaye, songwriter Jimmy McHugh and many more. You'll also become acquainted with the extraordinary "ordinary" people who populated Janet's life. The book may read like a novel, but it's a very true story.
