Product Description:
This book is many books in one. Most of all, it is a love story that reads like a fairy tale. A twelve-year-old girl goes to the movies in Brooklyn with her mother in 1926. The girl sees a larger-than-life image on the screen of actor William Boyd, and she falls madly in love. She writes his name in her school books. She starts collecting articles about him movie magazines. She fantasizes that someday she will marry him. The girl is Grace Bradley. In 1931, a talent scout from Paramount Pictures sees Grace dancing in a New York cabaret and offers her a screen test. She is immediately signed to a contract with Paramount and moves to Hollywood with her mother. She still thinks of William Boyd, but makes no attempt to contact him after she is living in Hollywood. In 1937, her phone rings and the voice on the other end says, "This is William Boyd. May I speak to Grace Bradley?" Grace is shocked and thinks someone is playing a joke on her until she hears the famous Bill Boyd laugh, then she knows it is the real thing. Three weeks later to the day, they are married.

At first I was very disappointed in NOT receiving the complete movie set of sixty-six movies.
After review of the material I am now happy.

"Hoppy" was a true hero to multiple generations of youngsters. This book, written lovingly by his beautiful widow, provides a clear insight into how a Hollywood playboy turned into the honest, straight-shootin', square-dealin' role model he became for so many of us. A Great Read!

I bought this for my husband as a birthday gift. He is very much into the old cowboys. He is really enjoying it. The book is a good size and a heavy one too. Looks nice on a table or coffee table. A plus for the old guys who remember all the cowboy stars of the fifties.
