Synopsis

This is no ordinary celebrity biography pieced together by an outsider. Steve Martin and author Morris Walker had a close relationship growing up. They were class clowns together, charming the girls and the teachers with their wit and eventually going on the road as comedians. Youll meet the Steve Martin youve never seen before: the elevenyearold already performing nearperfect, sleightofhand magic tricks; the thirteenyearold selling guidebooks at Disneyland; the twentyyearold stretching his comedic wings as a vaudevillestyle entertainer; and the twentyoneyearold Emmy Awardwinning Hollywood whiz kid.
