Description: "These are the memoirs of Richard L. Bare, sole director of the television series Green Acres. Follow Bare through his incredible career in the film industry, during which he directed a dozen feature films and over 400 television shows, including Maverick, 77 Sunset Strip, The Virginian, and The Twilight Zone.

The more than forty years he spent in Hollywood brought him into contact with some of Hollywood's biggest stars - Gary Cooper, Betty Hutton, Debbie Reynolds, Eva Gabor, Eddie Albert, Errol Flynn, Kim Novak, and Charlie Chaplin - as well as heavy-weights such as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Walt Disney. Bare opens with a gripping story of how he and the crew of M-G-M's The Islanders almost lost their lives in a devastating plane crash in the Caribbean Sea.

The excitement then continues as Bare takes us through the highs and lows of his life and career, always with humor."--BOOK JACKET.
