15 Minutes With Fame: 50 Years Among the Stars - Hardcover

by Anthony Jr. Salerno (Author)

For the greater part of fifty years, it was the ride of a lifetime.

15 Minutes with Fame is a collection of personal anecdotes and stories that give the reader a taste of the excitement, exhilaration and joy Tony Salerno experienced in his five decades in the entertainment business. Whether it was with Fred Astaire, who inspired him; Paul Newman, who assured him; John Lennon, who awed him; Bette Midler, who moved him; or any of the more than four dozen other celebrities and luminaries profiled in these pages, the time Tony spent working with each of them gave him a unique and personal glimpse into who these people really were. A glimpse that a regular fan just couldn't get from the outside, but one they can share now.

Accentuated by "production notes" that take the reader behind the scenes of some of the biggest entertainment show and productions of the past half century, 15 Minutes with Fame will transport the reader backstage, as only an insider's perspective can.
