Cissy Wellman and They Say I Come From Hollywood Royalty... (12/23/2020)
They Say I Come From Hollywood Royalty... So Where’s My Crown? is a collection of delightful and funny stories by Cissy Wellman about her life growing up in Hollywood. As the daughter of one of America’s most famous directors, William “Wild Bill” Wellman (whose films include Wings, A Star Is Born, Beau Geste, The Story of G.I. Joe, The Ox-Bow Incident, Public Enemy and dozens of others), Cissy counted among her friends some of the great directors, actors and singers of all time, including director Howard Hawks and the legendary Elvis Presley. But this book is not a tell-all; instead, these stories reveal the good heartedness, humor and loyalty of Hollywood stars. Cissy describes her triumphs and hard times as a dancer, choreographer and actor (she appeared in The Waltons for five seasons as well as many other shows), her many adventures with friends, and the love she shared with two wonderful men. A delightful, heartwarming book. Cissy Wellman, actress, dancer, director, writer, the fifth of seven children. She is the daughter of pioneer film director/producer/writer William A. Wellman, also known as Wild Bill Wellman, and Busby Berkeley dancer and actor Dorothy Coonan. Raised on a 4+ acre farm in Brentwood, California, Cissy now lives in Valley Village, California with her cats, hummingbirds, squirrels and on occasion racoons. https://youtu.be/OwvBebZSrg4 https://www.amazon.com/They-Hollywood-Royalty-Wheres-Crown/dp/B08L4C8NWK https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0920048/
