The Stories They Never Told You

Stuart Jerome was an errand boy during the late 30s until the war for Warner Brothers studios. He delivered fan mail to the stars, took visitors on tour, and generally caused trouble for his boss Pappmeier. His stories are vivid and interesting, many of which are not well known to Hollywood history fans. He had the unique experience of being both a fan and a co-worker with great names like James Cagney, Olivia De Havilland, Paul Muni, Bette Davis, Dick Powell, and others. There are great entries here. Was Marion Davies' bugalow haunted by phantoms at a party? Could John Barrymore have played the lead in The Man Who Came to Dinner? Find out about the prime rib that was gradually stolen from Miriam Hopkins' refrigerator. Every single story is well written and great fun to read. Jerome writes like a man who truly appreciated his time at Warners and who has reflected upon his adventures thoroughly. He is never an arrogant kid bragging about his experiences; he is nostalgic and excited which in turn excites the reader. This excellent read is surprisingly unpopular; read it an impress your friends about your knowledge of your favorite stars.
