Trade Review
“Robert Halmi was a wondrous mixture of Pied Piper, riverboat gambler, and Old World grandee. The high adventure, cocksure creativity, and flat out fun of his life are all packed into this exuberant memoir. There was no one like him and he will be missed, but thankfully he has left us this book to remember him by.” --John Lithgow, actor
“Mr. Halmi hired me for the first time when I was seventeen years old for Lonesome Dove. The last time he hired me, I was thirty-eight. He was by far the most influential producer in my life.” –Ricky Schroder, actor
