About

This is no ordinary celebrity biography pieced together by an outsider. Steve Martin and author Morris Walker had a close relationship growing up. They were class clowns together, charming the girls and the teachers with their wit and eventually going on the road as comedians. You'll meet the Steve Martin you've never seen before: the eleven-year-old already performing near-perfect, sleight-of-hand magic tricks; the thirteen-year-old selling guidebooks at Disneyland; the twenty-year-old stretching his comedic wings as a vaudeville-style entertainer; and the twenty-one-year-old Emmy Award-winning Hollywood whiz kid.

Reviews

"At last I have a way of answering the bothersome questions that I have too often been asked: 'What is Steve Martin really like and how did he get that way?' Read Morris Walker's compelling and hilarious biography on Steve Martin and I'm off the hook!"
Carl Reiner
"Irony and lilt in prudent doses are required for this book full of nostalgia and preposterous youthful frolicking. Whitener finds it, with a clear, distinct voice that produces an effortless listen."
