Descriere

Growing up in the 50's as the product of an insane mother, and a cold, abusive father did not make for a good start in life. There were no role models for this budding gay boy, and the way people spoke of homosexuality made me feel like something akin to a murderer.

The pressure caused by my inner conflict eventually rose to a boiling point, and needing refuge from the cold, cruel world, I volunteered myself into a mental hospital for thirty days. Thanks to inner strength and perseverance, I have managed to turn my life beautifully around. Totally unmasked, and finally being true to myself, I became a successful film publicist in Hollywood working with such notables as Lucille Ball, Clint Eastwood, Barbra Streisand, John Denver, Jack Lemmon and a host of others.
