Synopsis

Double Life chronicles a fifty–year love story between a top Hollywood executive and a Madison Avenue ad man–turned–acclaimed painter. It's a relationship that was formed at a time when there were no role models for them to emulate. The story begins in a $50 a month walk–up flat in New York and moves to Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and Malibu. The book is filled with stories of the art world and show business: anecdotes about people like Lena Horne, Marlon Brando, Richard Chamberlain, Laurence Olivier, Truman Capote, Katharine Hepburn, Barbra Streisand, Helen Hayes, Bette Davis, Mike Nichols, Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, and many others. All told, it is a funny, moving adventure that tells the true story of a same sex union and how it contributes to the life of all of us.
