5.0 out of 5 stars
Very interesting, informative, & insightful--I enjoyed it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bronx to Broadway: A Life in Show Business (Hardcover)
Hal Thau's career, as with most high achievers, is a study of perseverance, determination and introspection. As he discusses the "pioneering spirit" in one chapter, the reader sees clearly through his examples and experiences that Thau does indeed have the pioneering spirit...and the ability to work with others (actors, entertainers, etc.) who also have it to help them "focus." I found his mix of sharing about the celebrities he managed and the personal glimpses of his own life and values excellent. I also appreciated Thau's poetic way of expressing things...his observations and introspection are thoughtfully and often poignantly expressed... It is so very interesting to read of this man's success in show business/management/producing and to also see he has kept his feet on the ground. His is an example of a life in which both worldly success and personal success are achieved and balanced. I highly recommend this book for all who share an entrepreneurial spirit--for all who seek to follow their dreams...it is an inspiring and insightful book.

I count it as one of my great priviledges to know Hal and Dorothy Thau and call them my friends. As an Aspen, CO resident and life long John Denver fan, Hal and Dorothy have brought joy to my life. His book is inspiring and genuine and tells the all American rags to riches story. I would recommend this to everyone. Hal was JD's personal manager for more then 35 years. There is something to be said for his character in that alone, especially in the "what have you done for me lately" Hollywood etc. scene. Hal is the real deal and so is his book. My best to you my friend.
