From Sawdust to Stardust
Author: Terry Lee Rioux
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416500049
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
In the forty-year history of Star Trek®, none of the television show's actors are more beloved than DeForest Kelley. His portrayal of Leonard "Bones" McCoy, the southern physician aboard the Starship Enterprise™, brought an unaffected humanity to the groundbreaking space frontier series. Jackson DeForest Kelley came of age in Depression-era Georgia. He was raised on the sawdust trail, a preacher's kid steeped in his father's literal faith and judgment. But De's natural artistic gifts called him to a different way, and a visit to California at seventeen showed a bright new world. Theater and radio defined his early career -- but it was a World War II training film he made while serving in the Army Air Corps that led to his first Paramount Studios contract. After years of struggle, his lean, weathered look became well known in notable westerns and television programs such as You Are There and Bonanza. But his work on several pilots for writer-producer Gene Roddenberry changed his destiny and the course of cultural history. This thoroughly researched actor's life is about hard work and luck, loyalty and love. It is a journey that takes us all...from sawdust to stardust.

DeForest Kelley Up Close and Personal

Pages : 348
Book Description
If not for a question I couldn't answer back in 2000, this book probably would never have been written. When DeForest Kelley's biographer Terry Lee Rioux asked me, "How did you go from being a fan-on the outermost reaches of fandom-to being at Mr. Kelley's bedside when he died?" I was struck speechless. Finally, I responded, "I have no idea. That's something only De could answer. I can't speak for him." Terry persisted: "You know the answer. You just have to connect the dots..." The question pestered me. My 30-plus year association with DeForest Kelley had all just seemed so miraculous to me. That's because I still hadn't come to grips with the reality that De and Carolyn Kelley weren't just being kind to one of their most ardent fans. I had become a friend. Terry's question led me to re-visit the scores of journals and four behemoth three-ring binders that I had filled with the conversations I had painstakingly recorded after each visit and call. You wouldn't think-as crazy about the Kelleys as I was-that I would have forgotten a single moment. But I had. This is how I discovered, for the very first time, the path that our friendship took. My hope is that my precious journey will bring you as close to meeting "the real McCoy" up close and personal as I was blessed to experience.

Book Description
FROM THE FOREWORD: You are here (I presume) because you've read my 2015 memoir "DeForest Kelley Up Close and Personal: A Harvest of Memories from the Fan Who Knew Him Best" or its 2001 predecessor "DeForest Kelley A Harvest of Memories: My Life and Times with a Remarkable Gentleman Actor."I am here because so many of you wrote to tell me that you're still hankering for every morsel of experience I enjoyed as a fan and friend of Carolyn and DeForest Kelley. I'm doing this for you now for three reasons: 1. I'm no longer a spring chicken and I want to help extend the Kelley legacy as far into the future as I possibly can 2.the 20th anniversary of De's passing is this year (June 11, 2019)3.the 100th anniversary of De's birth will occur on January 20, 2020 Based on the 5-star reviews that flooded in after the publication of my Kelley memoir, I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. Fans said, "I feel like I've truly met and know De and Carolyn now." BULLS EYE! That's exactly what I was aiming for! I succeeded so well, in fact, that I started getting my own fan mail from readers who loved De or were just discovering him for the first time. They asked me follow-up questions. They wanted to continue to inhabit my experiences with the Kelleys, including the mundane. True fans can never get enough of the Kelleys. So, I'm doing everything I possibly can to be sure that my readers get everything I have to share with you before I'm shoveled off this mortal coil. I consider this my magnum opus. It has been quite the undertaking, when you consider the thousands of hours I spent typing these phone visits originally (immediately or shortly after each of the 1000-plus conversations occurred), the time I spent rifling through them and my journals for the 2001 version of my memoir of my life and times with the Kelleys, and this final "no holds barred" iteration. Whew!!! So, to those who reached out and inquired, thank you. Although this has been a herculean undertaking, by tackling the phone logs again I've been able to re-experience the magic. In fact, I feel as if I resurrected the Kelleys and spent additional time with them because I had forgotten so much of what was in the phone logs! So, in asking me to tell it all, you've blessed me as much as I hope these six volumes will bless you.
