Synopsis
In this memoir Jon Provost describes his experiences as a child superstar and shares celebrity anecdotes. Timmy's in the Well illustrates what happens to a middle-class American family touched by fame. Jon's first job came at age three, forever altering the course of his life and the lives of his family. With nearly a dozen film appearances in a mere five years, Provost was named the top child movie actor of 1958 by the New York Film Critics. Yet he could barely read, hardly knew his siblings, and had few friends under the age of 35. More than 200 interviews add texture and humor to this thoroughly researched story, and the book includes a vivid portrait of the inner workings of Hollywood of the 1950s and 1960s, and it is populated with some of the biggest names of the day. [All spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are errors that are in the book itself, not the scan.]
