by Marc Huestis

Overview

DELUXE COLOR EDITION: The inside story of San Francisco's burgeoning gay history and Hollywood's trials and tribulations. Marc Huestis' showbiz memoir is an entertaining and personal retelling of his coming out in the streets of San Francisco in the early ’70s, his relationship with Harvey Milk, his award-winning early AIDS documentary work, and 20 years of memorable experiences and behind the scenes secrets of screen icons—including Debbie Reynolds, John Waters, Patty Duke, and Tony Curtis—honored at his grand singular extravaganzas at the world-renowned Castro Theater. With nearly 100 color photos. "Marc Huestis is the master of a universe you're gonna love, a small stretch of turf in San Francisco that is as crazy, funky, glamorous, flamboyant and eccentric as he is." - Bruce Vilanch
