| A legendary ladies man, George Hamilton was convinced he was unattractive
as a youth. Today, he is perhaps better known for his off-screen escapades than his
leading roles. George Hamilton's star began to rise when he played a Palm Beach playboy in the 1960 film Where the Boys Are. But six years later, he really captured the public's attention when he started dating the most eligible girl in America--Lynda Bird Johnson, President Lyndon Johnson's daughter. Decades later the pattern holds--while his movies often pass without much notice, George has made a splash escorting women from Imelda Marcos to Elizabeth Taylor. This far-reaching profile goes beyond the smooth operator image to tell Hamilton's complete story, from his vagabond childhood to his career as a corporate pitchman. Family, friends and colleagues, including his brother, Joan Collins, Danielle Steele and Liz Smith share their favorite memories of the enduring star, and countless clips and photos capture his best moments. George Hamilton is one actor whose most memorable roles have been played off screen. |
