Stars In My Eyes

Tony Charmoli's memoir of working in Show Business. From his immigrant roots to early days on Broadway, to the beginnings of television and five decades of working with the most famous people in entertainment, the journey is not only his but the journey of modern culture and the personalities that have entertained us.

The book is full of funny anecdotes of very famous people- it is not a "tell all" but rather like sitting and hearing great stories about people you have admired from afar from someone who was there. Tony genuinely enjoyed these people and you can tell it in what he chooses to focus on. It is also a story of a child of immigrants who arrived speaking no English, and how through hard work he achieved great success. With lots of rare pictures of early TV shows, this book is a wonderful look at 20th century entertainment and the people who made it happen.
