Three Stages: My Journey, Book 1

Some have called the first volume of these memoirs an "entertainment book", a "Hollywood memoir" and a "celebrity book". While it does contain a number of celebrity stories, they are all in the context of Ben Bryant's first 37 years. Born in a small Tennessee town, moving to Hollywood at 13, he attended Hollywood High then Whittier college where he played football under two future NFL greats, George Allen and Don Coryell. Abandoning his early desire to become a coach, his powerful singing voice led him into showbiz.

Ben Bryant's insider, backstage view of the inner workings of the entertainment industry at nearly every level over twenty years – in theatre, TV, Vegas, national tours, the Met opera and Broadway – captures the experience in a way that has never been seen before. Ben shared both his professional and his personal life with dozens of household names from Jack Benny to Frank Zappa.

Bryant's insightful and one-of-a-kind view of the entertainment world is panoramic, revealing and wildly entertaining.
