New Book: My West Side Story by George Chakiris
"George Chakiris has been my dear and beloved friend since we met on the set of West Side Story.He is godfather to my daughter, Fernanda because I felt at the time there was no lovelier, funnier and truer person. My feelings have only grown deeper, and, oh, the Hollywood stories! You'll savor this story of a Greek boy in America who did well--very well, indeed."
