Few know the real story, now told in this intimate memoir of growing up in Depression-era Oklahoma and triumphing in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>After physical abuse at the hands of his stepmother, Garner left home at fourteen. He was Oklahoma\u2019s first draftee of the Korean War, receiving two Purple Hearts for combat wounds. Back in Los Angeles in need of a job, Garner reluctantly tried acting and was surprised to find his career taking off. Working with such luminaries as Julie Andrews, Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen, and Clint Eastwood, he became a star in his own right. He threw himself into his work, and despite stage fright and bouts of depression, constant physical pain and epic battles with the Hollywood establishment, he became the acting equivalent of a national monument.<\/p>\n<p>Written with Jon Winokur, The Garner Files is a wry, engaging self-portrait chronicling the vagaries of a screen career along with the cast of personal and professional characters that helped shape a great American life.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Simon &#038; Schuster; Reprint edition (October 23, 2012) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 304 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 145164261X <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1451642612 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 10.5 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.5 x 1 x 8.38 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book delightful and relatable.
