About The Book

At sixteen Betty runs away from the small river town she's always known to live in Los Angeles with her father an outrageous used car salesman and avid gambler. It is the first journey in what will be a remarkable life among remarkable people: Betty's first job out of college is as Joan Crawford's nanny caring for the Crawford children at the height of the star's career. Hollywood is about to play an even larger role in Betty's life when she meets a young ambitious actor named Lee Marvin. After a whirlwind courtship and a trip to Las Vegas Betty and Lee are married. In this unique memoir both hilarious and touching we follow Betty as she creates a family with Lee and is by his side as he works with Marlon Brando John Wayne and a host of other stars. She is the penultimate hostess and Hollywood Housewife. Nobody knew what was really going on at home - until unable to take Lee's womanizing drinking and abuse Betty leaves him and strikes out on her own. What follows are adventures that could only be Betty Marvin's; from the building of her career as an artist. To a love affair with an Italian King to dire straits as investment con artists leave Betty suddenly homeless. After years of the Hollywood life Betty is left with only her car her dog and her typewriter. Forced to employ all of her skills to survive she comes out on top. This is the story of a woman who finds the real riches that come with learning the value of a joyful life.
