In 2021, he made his “comeback” with a cameo role in Steven Spielberg’s new West Side Story film. These events are the “bookends” of David’s memorable new memoir, which one reviewer described as “brilliant, witty and lively”… ..... In his richly illustrated memoir, When You’re a Jet, David Bean offers a wonderful potpourri of stories about his “extraordinary, ordinary life” ― a life that began in California, and brought him to stage and screen in New York, Hollywood and England. From tap dancing on the streets of Hollywood, to Broadway performances as a young teenager, David Bean grew up in the world of theatre. He appeared in "Peter Pan" on Broadway with Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard.  David and his wife Jean (also a talented dancer) performed over the years in numerous theatre and television shows together. Together, they also built a network of businesses with the passion of a couple on a mission. David currently lives with his wife of sixty years in upstate New York ― and they can often be spotted at the Jeanie Bean & Family Deli and Café in Clinton Corners, NY. As David would say, "For more details, read my book!" ... and now we can add: "And tune in to 'Richard Skipper Celebrates'"!
