My Name is Morgan by William Woolfolk

Paperback. Condition: Good+. 1964. Permabook. 1st Printing (paperback).

A novel about old Hollywood. Jack Morgan had clawed his way up from the world of carnivals and peep shows to Hollywood and the big time. But for a man of his electrifying vitality and flamboyance, plain success wasn't  enough. He needed recognition as the master showman of his era.

So he poured his fantastic energy into making a superspectacular, the biggest and best movie the world had ever seen. And with equal fierceness he set out to marry Anne Allen, the screen's leading goddess.

Jack Morgan's tumultuous struggle to achieve his ends is a glittering, hectic story of the business shenanigans and gaudy romancing, of wheeling--dealing and bamboozling, but always, of a con man par excellence who was so inspired that he became a legend.

Loosely based on producer Mike Todd and Elizabeth Taylor's relationship.
