Lewis, Roy Rogers, David Susskind, Andy Rooney, George Reeves, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Robert Young, Walter Cronkite. What do all these famous people have in common? They all knew Larry Lowenstein. Famous People Who Knew Me is the story of a press agent, publicist, and promoter who worked and partied with stars and personalities of television, Broadway, radio, and film. Famous People Who Knew Me takes the reader back to the Bronx of 1919 where Larry Lowenstein was born. It tells of Larry's early years before and during the Great Depression, as well as his experiences during World War II when he served in the Army Air Forces in England, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany. But most significantly, it tells of his career experiences after the war during the go-go years of early television. It tells of the day that he and another press agent made the wedding bed for Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher; the evening Ed Sullivan forgot to introduce him to Elvis Presley at Studio 54; the Tournament of Roses Parade where he kept Arthur Godfrey too busy to make a pass at Bess Myerson; the late nights among café society at the Stork Club, Toots Shoor's, and 21; and the evenings when he and Yul Brynner and Faye Emerson would have drinks together at the Metropolitan Café, across from the CBS studios, and talk over that day's show, or when he and Faye and others would go to The Embers and listen as artists like Art Tatum, Marian McPartland, and Wild Bill Davison riffed their musical magic. After a productive career in New York, working for CBS Television and major public relations firms, such as Benton & Bowles, Rogers & Cowan, and General Artist Corporation, the story follows Larry to Atlanta where he continued his career in radio, television, and education, working with such Atlanta personalities as Ludlow Porch, Neal Boortz, Alonzo Crim, Henry Aaron, Maynard Jackson, and Andrew Young, as well as taking on significant roles in the Atlanta chapter of the American Jewish Committee, the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP, the Atlanta Urban League, and the Georgia Special Olympics, among many others. The story ends with Larry finishing his long career working as media coordinator at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia. Famous People Who Knew Me opens a window to a world of glamour and a life of great energy and sincerity.

This book was released on 2019-07-09. Famous People available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This fresh, smart novel in the guise of a celebrity memoir probes the inner life of a mega-famous pop star Honestly, what amazes me the most with a lot of the people I meet is that they think they’re so big. They think, ultimately, that the universe revolves around them. And I’m beginning to think that it’s only when you live a life like mine—it’s only when you’re in a position where you don’t even really own yourself, when you can’t even really say that you’re a citizen of any particular country—that you realize that we’re all just tiny pieces of cosmic dust floating through the void until we disappear forever and we’re never heard from again. So begins the life story of our uber famous twenty-two year old narrator. A teen idol since he was twelve, when a video of him singing went viral, his star has only risen since. Now, haunted by the suicide of his manager-father, unsettled by the very different paths he and his teenage love (and girl pop-star counterpart) “Mandy” have taken, and increasingly aware that he has signed on to something he has little control over, he begins to parse the divide that separates him from the “normal people” of the world. Sneakily philosophical, earnest and funny, Justin Kuritzkes's Famous People is a rollicking, unforgettable look at the clash between fame and the human condition.

This book was released on 2016. Show Me available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. It's a Story for the Ages... Boy does well. Boy teeters on midlife crisis. Boy moves to Florida, becomes a newspaper columnist and enlists the help of Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Brian Boitano, James Carville, Barbara Corcoran, Jack Hanna, Heloise, Magic Johnson, Shirley Jones, Sue Monk Kidd, Kathy Griffin, Hoda Kotb, Rob Marciano, Tyler Mathisen, Mary Matalin, Colin Mochrie, Suze Orman, Dr. David Perlmutter, Willard Scott, Vanessa Williams and almost 100 more to show him how to get his mojo back. Show Me is a result of over 50 years of research: 50-plus years of living a life, 10 years of journaling about that life, and four years as a columnist writing about people who, at one time, Jones assumed lived a better life than he did. In his battle against time, short attention spans and emotionally bereft modern technology, Jones wages an editorial war against pessimism by waving his journalistic flag in the promotion of creative thinking, positive communication, innovation, authenticity, respect and LAUGHTER. Now, with the help of his treasured gallery of informants-starting with the influencers from his days as a showy-yet-sensitive, bunny-fearing Mid-Missouri youngster to his exploration of modern-day success-family man, entrepreneur and humorist Randall Kenneth Jones hopes to SHOW YOU what all of these extraordinary people so graciously SHOWED HIM. Show Me showcases how to learn from your past, embrace your present, grow personally and professionally, laugh at yourself and banish mediocrity-by listening, learning and respecting the never-ending balance between ambition and tradition.
