You Can't Marry Them All and other Hollywood Stories

About the Book

Marvin English is a prominent name in Hollywood, mainly because he is married to a Broadway superstar, and for no other reason. He considers himself a talent Agent. Someone who can provide a new face to Hollywood and make them a star. Sound familiar? His business is done out of a Los Angeles apartment and all six bedrooms have been converted into offices. His business is providing celebrities for commercials, events and public appearances. He is also known for offering and providing a safe haven where he can take his paramours. Yes, he is a cheater of the worst kind. When he would bring his mistresses to the apartment/office, the staff was given warning to leave the office immediately. Marvin is not unlike others who play the same kind of game. Promises that never happen, false joys of excitement only to be disappointed; and dinners and events where the payoff is what happens afterwards. Producers, Directors and other well known people can take advantage of someone new to L.A., but not all of them do it. This book sheds light on some of the activities you might see if you were to become involved in show business. With the ups, downs and dog-eat-dog daily rituals, it’s what turns some really nice people into back-stabbers – Success!

About the Author

Some of you, or maybe all of you, are wondering why I wrote this book. Well, I started writing one day and kept on going. I am the mother of four extremely handsome men and a celebrity mom to one of my sons, who is an international superstar. I had a career in Hollywood for thirty-one years as a personal manager and then a casting director for CBS/USA networks. For the past ten years, I have lived in a small town called Nolensville and I love it; however, I do miss the city I grew up in, which is San Diego. I write a weekly column for a local newspaper, and I have been known to teach beginning writing in various libraries in Nashville. I am retired now but still love to give advice to young people starting out in the entertainment business. Many of my oldest friends still live in San Diego, and two of my children remain there also. It’s snowing as I write this, something that is kind of a rarity in Nolensville, but it is beautiful. I’m snowed in and I can’t go anywhere, so I figured I would introduce myself to you. This book is purely fiction. Any similarities of the characters in the book to people you may know is purely coincidental.
