The book is the first to take readers through an exploration of the life of the notoriously private actor. As Broadway aficionados know, the song "Seventy-Six Trombones" from The Music Man would forever link Robert Preston to the Broadway musical and the iconic 1962 film that would establish him as a Hollywood and Broadway star.

Preston's role as Harold Hill in The Music Man was a pivotal moment for the actor who appeared in dozens of films as well as theater and television productions throughout his career.
