About this ebook
Ed Sullivan was one of the world's greatest show business impresarios. He launched countless careers and left an indelible mark on the early days of television. But who really was the person behind that stony face, the inimitable voice and the odd mannerisms known to millions around the world? Few have had the kind of access to the man behind the myth as did Sullivan's right-hand man, associate director Marvin Silbersher. Told with insight, intellect and a sly sense of humor, Silbersher paints a uniquely fascinating and unorthodox portrait of a show business legend admired by many but known by relatively few. This is a story not to be missed.
