Whether you know H.M. Wynant or not, this book is for anyone who wants to know, experience, and feel what it was like to be barely twenty years old in Manhattan in the late 1940's and early 1950's, performing on Broadway every night, dancing Jerome Robbins' choreography in his very first show, appearing on stage with Laurence Olivier, Phil Silvers, Rex Harrison, and Katharine Hepburn, while running to television studios in the daytime during the dawn of live TV dramas, to work with the likes of Charlton Heston and Boris Karloff.
It's a book for anyone who wants to know what it was like to be not yet thirty-years-old and recruited to come out to Hollywood in the mid-1950's to not only appear in movies with Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster, Elvis Presley, Charles Bronson, and Rod Steiger, but to have juicy guest roles on quite literally all of the most famous TV dramas and Westerns (and a few of the comedies) on the air from the 1950's through the 1970's (Batman, Mission: Impossible, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Get Smart!, I Spy, Perry Mason, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Wild Wild West, Hawaii Five-O, Dallas), as well as live TV dramas with George C. Scott, Mickey Rooney, Ricardo Montalban, and Jack Warden.
And of course, starring in a little piece of TV history called The Twilight Zone, a line of dialogue from which the title of this book is derived.
