Product Description:
My agent and I snuck onto the studio lot, then headed over to the tiny man-made lagoon where the Gilligans Island beach scenes were filmed, hoping to run into someone whod read my script. As we wandered through the maze of soundstages, Ray pulled out a fat cigar and lit it, trying desperately not to inhale because he didnt smoke. Whats that for? I asked. Its a prop, he gasped in my direction. It makes me look like a big deal. Ray then blew a thick cloud of smoke, gagging on his own exhaust. He was starting to turn green. Im not sure this is such a good idea, I confessed. What if someone finds out were not supposed to here? Ray chuckled. Dont you have faith in me, kid? I didnt. Sure I do, I lied. Ray suddenly stopped and leaned over to throw up. After a few heaves, he thrust his cigar at me. Here -- take it -- damn things making me sick! Hold it for me until we see someone important! 'MY SO-CALLED CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD' may just be the most brutally honest book about Hollywood ever written. E. Klass delivers a scathing, unflinching behind-the-scenes look at show business that is both hysterically funny and tragically sad. This book is mandatory reading for anyone who thinks Hollywood is all glitz and glamour!

a review by garrie keyman
of My So-Called Career in Hollywood by E. Klass
This hilarious insider view dating to the dawn of - or at least to the early morning of -- commercial television reads like a screenwriter's nightmare: a very funny nightmare. A must-read for any Baby Boomer weaned on Irwin Allen shows like Lost in Space and Land of the Giants, My So-Called Career in Hollywood takes us deep into the ego crushing world of Hollywood ...

This book is a fun, easy, very fast read. I could not put it down. But I am left wondering if it is true or not. As he readily indicates in the story, he is a habitual liar. He lies in order to try to make a buck. So, is his story truth or more lies? Who knows?
The book is billed as an insider's view, the true story, etc. But this guy failed. In fact, his character has very few morals whatsoever. So I wonder what the real insider view is, perhaps as written from someone with a bit more character ... Read More

I bought this book because of the clever title, hoping the inside would be just as good, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. My So-Called Career In Hollywood is the true story of a struggling, on-the-fringe writer who tried to become rich and famous in show business. He came very close many times. The resulting book, which recounts his adventures on the set of some of the most famous TV shows in history (Lost In Space, The Partridge Family, Land Of The Giants, Happy Days, etc) is both very funny and tragically ...

I love this book. I could not put it down. It is an honest and funny story about the author's experience writing for T.V. shows and about the stars he has met through the years. If you are looking for a, can't put down book, buy this one. You will not be disappointed. This book will not be re-sold by me. It will go into my bookcase to be re-read in the future. I do hope E. Klass writes another one as he still has more stories to tell and I would love to hear them.
