Author SHELLEY HERMAN is an Emmy-nominated show-biz veteran, a longtime host, writer, producer and personality with decades of success on both sides of the camera.\xa0\xa0Now, she\u2019s taking us back to the beginning of her career \u2013 when she joined the famous NBC Studio Page program.\xa0\xa0My Peacock Tale:\xa0\xa0Secrets Of An NBC Page\xa0is the story of Herman, her fellow pages who became lifelong friends, and the dizzying array of celebrities, hangers-on, has-beens, and legends that found their way through the halls of NBC Burbank in the mid-late 1970s.

In what\xa0Kirkus Reviews\xa0calls \u201ca revealing and often delightful insider\u2019s look at the heyday of network television,\u201d Shelley Herman recalls the almost impossible-to-imagine situations behind the scenes amidst a who\u2019s-who of 1970s entertainment culture.\xa0\xa0From a trip to see Elvis in Vegas that lead to Shelley getting into the Page program; to literally \u201cbreaking a leg\u201d in an encounter that brought her an indelible moment with a musical hero; to being privy to the secrets of Joan Rivers\u2019 feud with Johnny Carson; to all of the interpersonal, professional, and emotional connections forged by Shelley and her friends that would define this as the time of their lives.

That\u2019s not counting stories about Andy Kaufman, Richard Pryor, Freddie Prinze, Gilda Radner, Robin Williams, Betty White, ex-Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Redd Foxx, Frank Sinatra, John Travolta, and other still famous (and some forgotten) giants of film, television, and music.\xa0\xa0With direct honesty, this celebratory reminiscence offers a unique glimpse into the beginning of a young woman\u2019s career amidst perhaps one of the most dynamic, colorful, and influential moments in recent cultural history.
