Bruce J. Starin (Author)
Ever wonder what goes on below decks of a real life Love Boat? Bruce J Starin knows. He was hired as a Social Director and soon promoted to Assistant Cruise Director (First Officer of Entertainment) on a ship he calls the "SS Luna Sea" because, if he used the real name in this funny, wise, revelatory memoir, a lot of marriages might dissolve and a fair number of former crewmen might get keel-hauled.Although Starin is now a highly respected international game show consultant (that's the second half of the book), he started off keeping vacationing cruise ship passengers entertained (that's the first half) and out of trouble. This involved adventures in various brothels, bailing out passengers arrested for unruly conduct by the local constabularies, and shaking down local merchants and liquor store owners on St Thomas and throughout the Caribbean, for positive mentions during the pre-embarkation "travel talks" - plus a multitude of situations and adventures too numerous to mention them all here.When Starin docked his career and began working in Hollywood he encountered just as many eccentrics, only this time they were famous, ranging from game show icons Bob Eubanks, Monty Hall, and Dick Clark to screen legends Clint Eastwood, Charlton Heston, and Esther Williams, as well as Mohammad Ali, President Gerald Ford and many more. Each was a memorable encounter.Whether you're sailing on a luxury liner, or cruising behind the scenes of international tv game shows, you'll never has as much fun as you will with Does The Crew Sleep On Board?Read more about this authorRead less about this author

In the world of film, a MONTAGE is a rapid succession of images used to advance a narrative. In this book, author Bruce J.

Starin stretches the definition a bit to form a composite picture of a life in show business combining several separate vignettes and encounters over the years with show business legends creating a memoir and expose that is at once – awesome, absurd, revealing, and with its zany spin on reality, always laugh out loud funny. Starin’s experiences include Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontaine, Joan Crawford, Lee Van Cleef, James Earl Jones, and Betty White, to Jerry Springer, Kenny Rogers, Dustin Hoffman, Ken Howard, Jimi Hendrix, Pee Wee Herman, Leif Garrett, Jim Brown, Ray Liotta and many, many, others.

The author’s adventures span the world from being cruised by hookers on motor scooters in Saigon, to buying beers and sharing a smoke with a legendary skid row poet in West Hollywood’s infamous Barney’s Beanery. With little or no regard for his own safety, let alone as to where or with who, Starin delves into his experiences with wide-eyed enthusiasm dealing with legendary personalities and in some cases bizarre situations worldwide, in an entertaining read that is, at the same time astounding, and even harder to put down.

“MONTAGE” – A collection of “Eye-Brows Up” encounters and observations during a life in international show business…. .
