But it’s real. He’s spoken to all the right people...and I’m betting there’s a lot here that will surprise even the most devoted fans."

“An absolutely riveting and brilliant biography of an American icon. An instant classic! Only a skilled writer like Herbie J Pilato could bring us this comprehensive look at one of America's greatest television icons. Pilato wonderfully navigates the reader through her ups and downs…her amazing success and failures along the road. Pilato does not pull any punches. He is truthful, candid and frank- yet respectful of Ms. Moore. An amazing biography…Pilato hits a home-run with this great book!"

- Greg Hernandez, Greg in Hollywood

“What Herbie J Pilato has given us is a one-stop tome that covers everything one could ask for about Moore herself, her colleagues, her relationships, her misfires and triumphs, her self-consciousness and lack of self-esteem in terms of her looks,  not to mention her causes like diabetes research and animal rights…[a] very detailed and balanced tribute.  Someone needed to write this book and who better than Herbie J Pilato. He knows how to do it.”
