Since his untimely death on June 29, 1978, Bob Crane\'s unofficial Biography has become akin to a broken record.
Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography balances the scales and sets the record straight, providing a full and complete history of Bob Crane, clarifying who he really was-and maybe just as importantly, who he was not..
Within the pages of this book, they share their memories and thoughts about a man whom they knew as an exceptional and talented musician, a genius in radio, a sharp-witted comedian, a gifted actor and director, a man driven to success, a doting and loving father, a loyal friend, and a kind and gentle spirit with a sunny personality-a man who, while not perfect, was vastly different from how he has been presented over the decades.
Now, nearly two hundred people who knew the Hogan\'s Heroes star personally and better than most-family; friends as far back as elementary school; colleagues in radio, television, theatre, and film; and the man who was helping him battle and overcome his addiction, Reverend Edward Beck-have spoken out on Bob Crane\'s behalf, and in many instances, for the first time.
All perspective on Bob Crane as a human being was lost, and he became nothing more than a two-dimensional cartoon character without depth, dimension, or definition.
Over time, the line between fact and fiction blurred, and his life story became distorted.
Like a skip in the acetate, his murder and the scandal that grew from it have been the repeated focus of attention, to the exclusion of nearly everything else.
