'Hollywood's Man Who Worried for the Stars': New Book Presents Intimate Portrait of Legendary Business Manager

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- To the press and his clients alike, Bo Roos was "The Man Who Worried for the Stars," "Mr. Deductible" and "a legend in his own time." Thanks to his daughter, Carolyn Roos Olsen, we now have an intimate portrait of this larger-than-life player on the Hollywood scene. "Hollywood's Man Who Worried for the Stars: The Story of Bo Roos" (published by AuthorHouse), written with Marylin Hudson, takes us on a whirlwind tour through Roos' life as he mixes business and pleasure with movie stars, tycoons and royalty in Beverly Hills and around the world.

The cover of the book is a work of art in itself, depicting several of the motion picture stars that appear in the book, along with the author and the main character. The setting is during the Golden Age of the most famous motion picture stars during the 30s, 40s and 50s, and the locations range from Beverly Hills, Calif., to Acapulco, Mexico -- and many other countries around the world.

Over 100 pictures are spread throughout the book with wonderful stories about these famous movie stars, including John Wayne, Peter Lawford, Fred MacMurray, Red Skelton, Johnny Weissmuller, Joan Crawford, Lupe Velez, Marlene Dietrich, and many more.

Bo Roos was one of the first and most famous business managers of this memorable era. Flamboyant and high-powered, Roos fit the Hollywood stereotype of a typical show business manager. Several of his business ventures are explored in detail throughout the book.

"Hollywood's Man Who Worried for the Stars: The Story of Bo Roos" is Carolyn Roos Olsen's first published book. She has written many news columns for the Avalon Bay News on Catalina Island. Her family and her many friends encouraged her to write about her famous father. Her co-writer, Marylin Hudson, also encouraged her and helped her shape her story into the very fascinating book it has become.

Since the release of "Hollywood's Man Who Worried for the Stars: The Story of Bo Roos," reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. From Beverly Hills, to Mexico, to London, Carolyn has been told that her story is completely accurate to the people and time period it depicts. "Hollywood's Man Who Worried for the Stars: The Story of Bo Roos" presents an amazing, previously unknown glimpse into Hollywood history.
