Robert Vaughn: A Fortunate Life
A fortunate life for Mr. Vaughn provides a very fortunate opportunity for the rest of us to seek a peek into the life of a fascinating, complex man. I was only familiar with Mr. Vaughn via his television and movie roles, but there is so much more to the man. I find myself telling others some of the wonderfully funny and interesting tales that I've read about. I highly recommend this book.
