Hans Conried gets the recognition he deserves in this work. Part One covers his birth in 1917 and his early years, the launch of his career as a radio actor, his move to motion pictures, his marriage, and his military service in the Philippines, Korea, and Japan in World War II. Part Two deals with Conried's return to the United States following the war, the birth of his first child, the decline of radio and his first television performances, and his involvement with such productions as The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T, The Twonky, Peter Pan, Can-Can, and numerous others. Part Three details his work with Jack Paar (as a ""television personality"" on the early Tonight Show), his summer stock theater work, his guest spots on various programs and his work providing voices for cartoon characters. Part Four discusses Conried's final years touring with stock productions, his diminshing health and problems at home, and his death in 1982.
