Buddy Ebsen as the original Tin Man cast in the 1939 classic film, the most famous film in the world, "The Wizard of Oz." The silver paint dust almost killed him and prevented him from taking this role.

Buddy Ebsen tap-dances his way into the hearts and minds of Hollywood with his new entertainment autobiography, "The Other Side of Oz." As timely as he is timeless, this star of stage, screen, and television for over 65 years captures the sweeping powers of the "Wizards of Hollywood"--from Griffith, De Mille and Disney, to Lucas, Spielberg and Howard. At the same time, through the words of a man who has danced with Shirley Temple, fought with Davy Crockett at the Alamo, coaxed Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," reigned in "The Beverly Hillbillies," and sleuthed as Barnaby Jones, Buddy depicts the "un-glittered" life on the other side of the camera, complete with silver dust...

Buddy Ebsen tells his stories with all the colorful commentary of the seasoned trouper that he is and backs them up with over 135 rare photos throughout, many never before published, including: Flo Ziegfeld, Ruby Keeler, Judy Garland, Walter Winchell, Al Capone, Walt Disney, Fess Parker, Audrey Hepburn, and Gregory Peck. Additionally, Buddy features family photos that help highlight his poignant personal times growing up, and times when he was out of the spotlight.

BOB HOPE LIKED IT! SHOW BUSINESS THE WAY IT REALLY IS!

"Buddy has penned an absolutely delightful entertainment autobiography about his classic career that encompasses the Broadway stage, the silver screen, and television. By longevity alone, he is more qualified than anyone else to provide the world with an overview of the flip side of show business."--Bob Hope.
