By Paul Picerni and Tom Weaver
()
About this ebook
Fans of Golden Age television will remember Paul Picerni as one of the stars of the greatest of all crimebusting series, THE UNTOUCHABLES with Robert Stack. Movie fans might instantly associate him with the horror hit, HOUSE OF WAX, in which he played the romantic lead - and in 3-D!
These credits are just the tip of the iceberg in Picerni's stage-screen-TV career, which took him from small East Coast theater groups to Hollywood studios where he acted alongside stars on the level of John Wayne, Errol Flynn, Audie Murphy, Burt Lancaster, Vincent Price, Charles Bronson and his best friend Telly Savalas. In this book, master storyteller Picerni vividly describes working with these legends (and scores of others) and recalls in detail all the phases of his astounding 60 years in the acting profession--all of his many "Steps to Stardom."
Best Book of the Year!

Steps to Stardom celebrates Picerni's sixty dedicated years in the acting profession, and includes a copious amount of vintage black-and-white photographs of Picerni's life and career. An index rounds out this behind-the-scenes 'must read' for fans of Picerni's work."
