Perhaps my mother was conceived by a Xerox machine!\"\n\nSo, how did a kid from Ottawa, Canada, growing up in the 50s become an impersonator? No one in our family had ever been in show business. No one ever had \"show business\" yearnings. My father was a doctor. My mother was a housewife. So where did it come from? Ive often asked myself this question. I didnt know the answer, but I did love the movies. As a boy, I would go every weekend, sometimes staying to see the show twice. Just going to the movies and getting so involved in the story-telling and the characters made me want to be that person up on the screen; never dreaming that I could turn it into a career.\nThe glory days of Hollywood and their icons, like no other, have remained as indelible images in our hearts and minds for decades. I, like many, idolized these giants of the screen and comedy, but was so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet, work with and get to know many of them along the way during my career. From the genius of Jack Benny, the unmatched humor of George Burns, the debonair, handsome Cary Grant, the unforgettable John Wayne, the king of late night hosts Johnny Carson, and the former actor-turned-President Ronald Reagan to name a few.\nIn this gem of a book are insights into the likes of many of these great people Ive had the privilege and fortune to meet and imitate, shining new light on our beloved stars.\nThis is really not a biography, but more of a humorous glimpse of the people Ive impersonated and some of the funny stories that happened along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"7th Mind Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44982152888373,"sku":"ByrdShop_1457544393","price":30.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781457544392_ea49e2db-0521-4537-9c69-d786a6a0095f.jpg?v=1778848961","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/little-by-little-people-ive-known-and-been-9781457544392","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
