Merv Griffin A Life in the Closet, by Darwin Porter

[paisleystreet]

All Darwin Porter does is make up lies about people. All of his books are complete fiction. I warn everyone to either avoid his work or read it as entertainment only.

[JimBrinkley1]

Darwin Porter's "Merv" book makes some highly dubious claims about dozens of stars--all of them long dead--assuring no lawsuits of course. If you enjoy books full of vulgar language, make-believe conversations and alleged quotes that are all phallic-obsessed, then this waste of paper is for you.

The word used to be "You don't get on Merv Griffin till you get on Merv Griffin."

[cadillacman1952]

I am reading this book now and it is absolutely enthralling! It's one of the best books of this type that I've ever read. I can't wait to read some of Darwin's other books. Much praise to a well-written and revealing portrait of a very interesting subject!

Griffin wasn't alone. Raymond Burr, Tab Hunter, Montgomery Clift and of course

Rock Hudson all made efforts to conceal their "gaiety" in the 1950s.

Merv had a lovely bunch of coconuts, as the song goes...

When I was an adolescent, the advertisement for his late-night talk show advised, "Don't go to bed without Merv!" If we only knew.

Elvis had been around for years by 1959?

I don't like for anyone to stay in the closet, but I respect anyone's right to do so.

Just read the Merv Griffin book, and it was absolutely enthralling!!!

Are you going to do a YouTube video on the upcoming Paul Newman book? It's release isn't far away...

[tailagent]

Hi Danforth, i LOVE Blood Moon's biographies (JACKO was a "thriller" indeed!) & i'm halfway thru BRANDO. The HOLLYWOOD BABYLON tome is essential. Looking forward to MERV & PAUL. All the best to you & Darwin.

[renew2day]

Enjoyed both of them because they seem to love people.

This sounds like a very interesting book. I'll keep an eye out for it at my local bookstores.
