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.

Autorenporträt
Robert Darwin was born in 1926 and grew up in northern New Jersey. After serving three years in the U.S. Navy, he attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, where, at his father's wise urging, he majored in Business and Finance - and it was lucky for him that he did. Upon leaving Hollywood in 1967, he formed a real estate acquisition partnership, bought a ranch in Carmel Valley, California, and other trophy properties throughout the West, raised thoroughbred horses and formed Transjet, the first jet-oriented fixed base operation in the Monterey, California, area. Returning to his writing skills - he then wrote The History of the Union Pacific Railroad in Cheyenne, a large coffee-table book that became the most successful and highly praised rail photo book ever published. Now officially retired but still hard at work, Darwin continues with his writings, being currently involved with the completion of his second memoir, Fragments, which is principally concerned with memorable episodes from his non-Hollywood years. Yuri - the third volume in Darwin's trilogy - is an historically accurate blockbuster accounting of his father's five-year-long flight out of the Ukraine and around the world after the assassination of his parents and younger sister by Bolshevik forces - after their being branded as aristocrats - at the beginning of the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917. At the time of this writing Robert Darwin is 92 years of age; he still boasts 20/20 vision, has all of his marbles in place and is in excellent health - a sign, as he puts it, of his exceptional genes. This fortuitous inheritance allows him the opportunity to continue a productive daily routine and the ability to sustain a robust propensity for humor and the desire to partake in all of the positive things that life has to offer.
