You never know: a memoir
(Large Print)
Description
"Hollywood is never easy...especially when you refuse to let it change you. But for Tom Selleck, insisting on being himself was the key to becoming one of the world's most-beloved leading men. In You Never Know, Selleck recounts the stories that led him to stardom, beginning with his rambunctious California childhood and his time as a fun-loving college jock. His unlikely Hollywood career got an early boost from a stint on The Dating Game and a budding friendship with legendary film star Mae West. Along the way, Selleck shares his personal friendships with a vivid army of A-listers, including his mentor James Garner of The Rockford Files. But more than just a recollection, Selleck explains how he's struggled to balance his personal and professional lives, even at the risk of losing it all. Frank, funny, and openhearted, You Never Know is the highly personal story of Selleck's remarkable life and thoroughly accidental career. Told in his uniquely unpretentious style, You Never Know reveals an American icon who has reached remarkable heights by always insisting on being himself."--
