During his final year, Gardner McKay
gathered his notebooks together and began writing this memoir of a life
so richly varied that it would seem contrived if it were a movie script.
Dozens of handwritten diaries were augmented by events he'd written about
previously. Both devotees of his short stories and plays as well as fans
from his years as a television star will enjoy his unusual insights and
even more unusual adventures. |
"Gardner
McKay: Is My Adventures in Paradise" |
 |
Her friend Ashley says:... The
book is her memoir,
Book available at www.amazon.com |
| The
story tells of how she discovered Gardner McKay when "Adventures
in Paradise" came on television in 1959 when she was a child, then
on to how she actually met him after seeing him in a play in Chicago.
As you read the story, you will share in her anticipation and excitement
as she watches the handsome Gardner on stage, and then getting to meet
him backstage after the play. She actually got to see him face to face, gaze into his gorgeous brown eyes, converse with him, and show him the beautiful scrapbook she made of him. He presented her with a very special autograph, just for her. As part of the visit with her hero, she gave him a lovely gift of herself, her very first kiss was planted tenderly on his cheek, and his warm and happy reaction to this, as he graciously gave her his "thank you". Beverly goes on to tell of seeing him in other plays he starred in around the Chicago area, two more face to face meetings with him, and, then, you will feel some of the disappointment she felt as she just missed visiting with him after the fourth play she saw him in, as he had exited the theater before she and her family were able to talk with him. |
