One Helluva Ride

I picked up Skip E. Lowe's book on the recommendation of a friend, but had no idea that I was in for such an amazing read. In addition to having some unforgettable stories to tell, he is able to share them with complete emotional honesty, which provides surprisingly human insight into this larger-than-life world in which he has lived. I recommend this as a "must read" to all who are interested in learning about the Golden Days of Hollywood, the truly fascinating character once known as Sammy Labella, and the ups and downs of an unconventional life. By relating his madcap adventures and the lessons he has learned, Skippy does the best job I've ever seen at creating a road map for the road less travelled.

A WONDERFUL PAGE TURNER WITH LEGS

Skip E. Lowe's autobiography, 'The Boy with The Betty Grable Legs' runs a high speed race through his life and it is on a very fast track. No flagging, no dragging, no sagging.This book, like Skippy, moves with olympic energy and soul sharing humanity. With laughs, gaffs and shafts, there is nowaiting to get to the good parts. Every page is alive with astory that is immediately satisfying.I was intending to politely browse the book but Skippysnags my interest from the very first page and doesn't let me go.I felt I graduated a speed reading course, it reads so fast.What a life Skippy has led! It can't be true!Not that he has adventured with great names and far awayplaces that we can only dream of, but that he has actedon convictions where most only moralize.If you meet him, he's small.If you know him, he's giant.

The Boy with the Betty Grable Legs

Having been a child actor myself, I could well relate to the tale masterfully told my Mr. Skip E. Lowe. What a story!~What I loved most about Skip's life story was that he did it all himself! Travelling the world on no money except what you make at the clubs takes guts baby!Those who follow their hearts desire and explore the road less travelled always win my heart. Skip is a wonderful man, a sort of little wizard. Skip e Potter. HA! I laughed so hard at certain points of the book that I peed my bloomers. Sometimes, it was so sad I cried a river of tears.But it was always haute entertainment. I sincerely recommend the Boy with the Betty Grable Legs for all lovers of life, travel, bohemia, and the great show people and the great, great legends, (our teachers) like Skip E!

Livin' The Life

I just finished this book and I am reading it again. Thank you for "Livin' the Life" and writing about it. I laughed and cried and couldn't put it down.I know what I'm sending my friends for Christmas. Laine

That's reallly Entertainment

This guy's the greatest. I didn't even know who he was, but the title just hooked me . . . and I did not put this book down until three hours later ... After I'd gleefully gobbled up every single word. It's a fast, joyous read!
