"Whether Eddie Carroll came into your life early or late, an immediate treasured friendship was created. You became a part of his family, something which can still happen by just reading this biography." Gary Schaengold President of Disneyana Fan Club "When Eddie Carroll walked in the door for his audition as Jack Benny in 1983, I knew that my prayers had been answered. Even before he read a word of dialogue, he had assumed Benny's mantle - the voice, the mannerisms, the exasperation, and the classiness. He was the only contender for the job. How lucky for me to have been there, his partner and friend, at the start of his Benny reincarnation! And how lucky for the audiences who got to experience it, laughing and cheering for the next 27 years! Must read book." Ted Snowdon Broadway producer and Director, A Small Eternity With Jack Benny; Producer, Spring Awakening
