About
The first full-length biography of Bill Cosby, the book features original interviews. Cosby's Temple University sports coach, his very first manager (in Philadelphia), his second manager (who got him onto "The Tonight Show") and many others share their insights. The book was at the printer when Ennis Cosby was killed, so it ends with a note about the crime (which was unsolved as the book went to press). Well-written book by one of America's foremost authorities on comedy (author of "Stars of Stand-Up," "Who's Who in Comedy," "Johnny Carson," etc.
