Book Presentation:
Named “Television’s First Lady” by Walter Ames of the Los Angeles Times, actress Beverly Garland (1926–2008) is also regarded as a Western and science-fiction film icon. Beverly was TV’s first “police woman” in the landmark series Decoy, and was seen in starring or recurring roles in such popular shows as My Three Sons and Scarecrow and Mrs. King. In addition to more than 700 television appearances, she made more than 55 feature and made-for-television films including the cult classics Not of This Earth, It Conquered the World and The Alligator People.

Working with such stars as Sinatra, Bogart, and Bing Crosby, Beverly Garland had fascinating stories to tell about all of them and many more. This comprehensive biography of Beverly’s life and career includes a foreword and afterword by her colleagues Joseph Campanella and Peggy Webber.
