The book is the first to take readers through an exploration of the life of the notoriously private actor. As Broadway aficionados know, the song "Seventy-Six Trombones" from The Music Man would forever link Robert Preston to the Broadway musical and the iconic 1962 film that would establish him as a Hollywood and Broadway star.
