Summary: |
Born Joel David Katz in 1930's Cleveland, Grey began his life in the theater at the age of nine, starring in local productions of touring Broadway hits. The search for the spotlight took him from the Cleveland Playhouse to seedy, gangster-filled nightclubs in Chicago, and finally to the lights of Broadway and the dizzying glamour of Hollywood. Coming of age in a time when being yourself tended to be not only difficult but also dangerous, sometimes an artists' hardest role is being himself. This is a portrait of an artist coming to terms with his evolving identity. |
