Well written and hilarious

Dwayne Hickman is best known for his time on "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" as the title character. However, as this book demonstrates, his career did not begin and end with Dobie. He was an extremely reluctant child actor, a determined college student, a supporting player on "The Bob Cummings Show", Dobie, a Las Vegas entertainment coordinator for a hotel, a successful dinner theatre actor, a CBS executive, and a writer/director. No matter what other roles he played on screen or off he can not escape being Dobie. Having been around the industry virtually his entire life, Hickman tells stories about some of Hollywood's stars as well as personal antecdotes that make the book hilarious. Now happily married for the third time with a young son ( he has a grown son from marriage #1), Hickman has finally made peace with the fact that he will be "Forever Dobie". The book is fun to read, intersting, and will make you laugh out loud! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
