Steal Me!

"I had wrapped the tire iron carefully in towels, good towels, so it wouldn't mark him in any way or draw blood. I picked it up off the floor now with my right hand and swung, like a tennis serve, really, and caught him at the back of his pewter hair. Perfect, a perfect hit. He went over into the front seat, and all I had to do was pull him in, turn him--not so easy; he was heavy--and shut the door behind him. I looked carefully; he was still clutching the attaché --I knew he'd be awfully angry if we'd lost it--and gunned the car away from the curb. I don't think I even wondered if anyone noticed, and I guess nobody did. This was New York. We were going to my house; I didn't think much beyond that. He would be so happy, so relieved to be there. "I want to be with you," he had said so many times. "But you know I can't." And he had always smiled as he said this: "Steal me." I had only done what he wanted me to do."

Adios, Hollywood: My Story By Dick, Dog Of Oaxaca
As Told To Rose Leiman Goldemberg

There's never been a Hollywood memoir quite like this one—but then, there's never been a movie star like Dick, Dog of Oaxaca! Once a humble mexican dog, his discovery under a restaurant table in Oaxaca launched his legendary career. Now Dick looks back on the heady days of stardom, from his first part in Escape to Infinity to his final role in the infamous, never-completed Dog of God. While Dick struggles to perfect his craft and protect his beloved mistress, starlet Wanda Sacks, he encounters L.A. lunacy at his finest: crazed producers and clueless directors; spineless writers and slimy agents; the gorgeous dumb actor whose lines are painted on a mountain so he can read them with a faraway look in his eyes. A hilarious, touching, thoroughly unique novel.
