His eldest son, Robert Crane, was called to the crime scene. In this poignant memoir, Robert Crane discusses that terrible day and how he has lived with the unsolved murder of his father. But this storyline is just one thread in his tale of growing up in Los Angeles, his struggles to reconcile the good and sordid sides of his celebrity father, and his own fascinating life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrane began his career writing for \u003ci\u003eOui\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and spent many years interviewing celebrities for \u003ci\u003ePlayboy\u003c\/i\u003e--stars such as Chevy Chase, Bruce Dern, Joan Rivers, and even Koko the signing gorilla. As a result of a raucous encounter with the cast of Canada's \u003ci\u003eSCTV\u003c\/i\u003e, he found himself shelving his notepad and tape recorder to enter the employ of John Candy--first as an on-again, off-again publicist; then as a full-time assistant, confidant, screenwriter, and producer; and finally as one of Candy's pallbearers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough disappointment, loss, and heartbreak, Crane's humor and perseverance shine. Beyond the big stars and behind-the-scenes revelations, this riveting account of death, survival, and renewal in the shadow of the Hollywood sign makes a profound statement about the desire for love and permanence in a life where those things continually slip away. By turns shocking and uplifting, \u003ci\u003eCrane\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable and deeply human story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eRobert Crane\u003c\/b\u003e is coauthor of\u003ci\u003e My Life as a Mankiewicz: An Insider's Journey through Hollywood, Jack Nicholson: The Early Years, and Bruce Dern: A Memoir\u003c\/i\u003e, and a contributor to\u003ci\u003e Hal Ashby: Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eChristopher Frye\u003c\/b\u003er is coauthor of\u003ci\u003e Jack Nicholson: The Early Years\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBruce Dern: A Memoir\u003c\/i\u003e, and a contributor to \u003ci\u003eHal Ashby: Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.7 x 5.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 24, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46086851690682,"sku":"9780813169798","price":28.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/5727\/8650\/files\/Hr0dys3oev9780813169798.webp?v=1783099458","url":"https:\/\/thebookloversatlas.com\/products\/crane-sex-celebrity-and-my-fathers-unsolved-murder-paperback","provider":"The Book Lover's Atlas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
