Larry Manetti about his book
(November 16, 1998):
Hold on, baby, for one fast and breathless read!
To the millions of "Magnum, P.I." fans around the
world, you're going to love my new book called "Aloha
Magnum." I wrote it so that you can finally know what really
went on behind the scenes of the greatest one-hour TV action
drama of the past twenty years. What you will read in "Aloha
Magnum" are some of my most treasured memories. And there
are a gang of them! My days on Magnum can never be repeated. But
my sharing them with you keeps them alive. This is one book that
you will not want to put down. What was Tom Selleck really like?
How wild was it during our eight years filming in the paradise of
Hawaii? Escapades, anecdotes, and even tender stories fill this
chronicle of my "Magnum, P.I." days. Many of the
biggest names in Hollywood guest-starred, including Sharon Stone,
Frank Sinatra, Ted Danson, and Carol Burnett. I've also included
snippets of my early Hollywood years, which involved encounters
with Elvis Presley (who is hidden in my house), Connie Stevens,
John Larroquette, Robert Conrad, and Michelle Pfeiffer.
Additionally, I've written a complete episode guide to all 162
"Magnum, P.I." shows, which includes my personal
anecdotes and memories; my trademark recipes I've prepared for
Tom Selleck, Frank Sinatra, Robert Wagner, Frankie Avalon, and
others; and finally some great candid photographs from the TV
series and my life in Hollywood.
