Hollywood Entrepreneur

Behind Practiced Smiles

De: Peter Marin

Narrado por: Peter Marin

Firsthand stories of my times with Hollywood giants like Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Debbie Reynolds, Nick Nolte, Pavarotti, Johnny Miller, and more.

I was only 14 when I began working with some of the biggest names in sports and show business. It was with the help of these stars and others that I began my singing and concert production career.

For years, I lived the ups and downs of a life as an A-list “one percenter” and then, nearly overnight, I was stranded alone with just $1.27 to my name.

I will take you deep inside the life of a Hollywood entrepreneur; the deals, the drugs, the smoke, and the mirrors.

My story winds through Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, New York, and San Diego during a time when the seediness of show business was hidden by its glamour. It's a tale of success, failure, and the climb, again and again toward the top.

This book is a must-listen for anyone who enjoys show business history and amazing comeback stories. And, if you are looking for hope and encouragement, then this book is for you. You will laugh and be moved by the unvarnished view of my personal and professional growth. It is raw and powerful - providing insight most everyone will relate to.

Hollywood Entrepreneur is filled with firsthand accounts of Hollywood during a time when the seediness of show business was hidden by its glamour.

Bridesmaid at the door of success

Wow, what an interesting life. Peter Marin tells his life story about the people he knew, worked with, and played with in great, colorful detail. There are so many ups and downs, so many near misses to grab the brass ring, it’s really riveting. Peter Marin uses the term, “a bridesmaid at the door of success.” The question is, does it ever open for him?

Peter Marin’s voice is rich and warm. Sometimes an author’s voice isn’t so pleasant to listen to in narration of their own book. But it’s easy to hear how this narrator is also a singer. His voice is really lovely to listen to. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!!

I listen to a lot of books on Audible and enjoy most, but this book really resonated with me. It is narrated by the author and his engaging presence and easy listening style of narration really enhanced the experience of his amazing life in and around Hollywood. The ups and downs of that lifestyle, the fascinating real-life characters, and the authors ability to come back from each challenge that he faced kept my attention and left me wanting to hear more! Well done!
