MY HAPPY DAYS IN HOLLYWOOD A Memoir

Producer, director, writer, and humorist Garry Marshall provides a loving, unpretentious memoir that is a treat to listen to in every respect. Voiced with his distinctive Bronx accent and peppered with Grand Concourse colloquialisms, his delightful anecdotes recount his childhood experiences, entertainment activities, and family life. Marshall eschews vocal characterizations, but his style of speech is so engaging, his tone so warm and disarming that you feel as if you know all the people he mentions quite well. Gently transitioning from era to era, he treats listeners to accounts of his experiences with "The Lucy Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" on television and movies such as PRETTY WOMAN and THE PRINCESS DIARIES. Humor is liberally distributed throughout—whether he’s discussing moments of self-doubt or health challenges or his many major successes.
