If anyone ever succeeded in Hollywood without really trying, Robert Darwin is one person who did, and he describes the best and the worst of his experiences in this book.
Darwin expresses his love for making movies and his despair over what was required to succeed. From the biggest stars to the lowliest newcomers in town, everyone is encumbered with the same unbelievable burdens - and if that isn't enough, the sexual predators make matters even worse. Darwin tells it all like it is without mincing words or compromising the truth. It is a sad fact about Hollywood that every young hopeful should consider and every parent of a star struck minor daughter or son should contemplate.
Attempting to succeed in Hollywood is not a bowl of cherries. It is a place where only the strong and determined succeed-and then only a miniscule few of them. Having come to Hollywood to become a writer and director, Darwin survived for nine years as a working actor, before writing and directing his first full-length feature film. But once he succeeded and achieved his goal he decided he had endured enough, abandoned Hollywood and left the business for others to ponder and pursue.
