Overview

Linn Sheldon delighted Cleveland children with his "Barnaby" character and television show in the 1950s and '60s.

That skill led to an early career in show business and, soon, local fame. However, bad breaks and bad behavior destroyed his chances for greater stardom in Hollywood. Some might look back on a life that has swung from low to high and back and forth again with bitterness or longing. ...

Overview

Linn Sheldon delighted Cleveland children with his "Barnaby" character and television show in the 1950s and '60s. His overwhelming popularity made Barnaby an icon of an era of childhood - a warm, lasting memory that thousands of Clevelanders hold onto still. Now this master storyteller is ready to tell his own fascinating life story. Abandoned as an infant, the young Sheldon entertained out of necessity - to convince people to take care of him. That skill led to an early career in show business and, soon, local fame. However, bad breaks and bad behavior destroyed his chances for greater stardom in Hollywood. Some might look back on a life that has swung from low to high and back and forth again with bitterness or longing. Sheldon retains a beautiful sense of humor. That, along with an exceptionally good ear for a story and a deft touch with words make this a touching and very human tale.
