Product Description

Review
"A baseball coach of some note once opined, 'Nice guys finish last.' Terry Lee Rioux's well-researched and readable "From Sawdust to Stardust" is warm, charming and inspirational -- especially for those who work just out of the limelight, and never curse their luck. For "Star Trek" fans, it's a chance to re-enter the final frontier with a really nice guy."

-- Ronald J. Drez, author of "Voices of Valor" and "Remember D-Day"

Product Description
In a 50-year screen career which began in 1947 and ended in 1997 with his final appearance, as himself, in the seminal Star Trek documentary, Trekkies, DeForest Kelley (his real name) notched up 41 film credits and 104 television appearances. Best known for his portrayal of the irascible Dr Leonard McCoy in the original Star Trek, he first made his name playing cowboys -- most of them bad guys -- in the heyday of the Hollywood western. He was Morgan Earp in Gunfight at the OK Corral and appeared alongside Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn in the legendary psychological western, Warlock. Apart from his central role in Star Trek his television guest appearances included episodes of such classic series as Ironside, The Fugitive, 77 Sunset Strip, The Virginian, Bonanza, Perry Mason and The Lone Ranger. Terry Lee Rioux's extensive and well-researched portrayal of DeForest Kelley's life takes readers into the story of his tragedies as well as his triumphs and sheds new light on a remarkable individual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remebering Bones, 13 Oct 2006
By Wirral Bagpuss (Wirral, Merseyside. UK) - See all my reviews
I have just finsished reading this wonderful book in floods of tears. What a remarkable man. I always remember Deforest Kelley forever as Dr Leonard H McCoy from Star Trek, i bought the book wanting to know more and i have not regretted it. Deforest Kelley was a complex man but obviously very talented as an actor and a warm compassionate human being and that came across in this book. From Sawdust to Stardust is a moving passionate tribute to Deforest Kelley, insightful, funny and moving. The world was robbed of a true human being when he died in 1999. As Dr McCoy once said "He's not really gone, as long as we remember him......." How true.

5.0 out of 5 stars I keep this by my bed side, 27 Mar 2007
By Ali Bongo (California) - See all my reviews
  
If you know nothing of Deforest Kelley, this is still an extraordinary and beautifully written book. If you do know of him and are interested in learning more, you cannot do without it. I came to this as a fan of the man behind Dr McCoy and his story has enlightened me no end. A wonderful journey with a wonderful human being who is an example to us all.

Losing such a man has left a hole in the world. This book is an absolute tribute to him. Just buy it.
