Who better to write about ELUDING FAME than one who regularly lived in the shadow of the famous without ever achieving the same level of fame?
ELUDING FAME differs from other books in that, rather than describing the life of one single person, it is about many famous people and organizations, framed amid a single event, that brought Allen and that celebrity together in a working relationship. Allen worked with prominent people in sports, business, medicine, politicians, and criminals (sometimes the same person). And with giants whose work defined their fields of endeavor: Orson Welles, Mickey Rooney, Joan Rivers, Earl Campbell, Patrick Mahomes, Jodie Foster, Nancy Ames, Dr. Emil J Freireich, Larry Dierker, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey, Rita Rudner, and Larry Hagman, to name a few.
The result is a book filled with intimate and personal stories, providing a look inside the celebrity world from the perspective of unique situations and circumstances in which Allen Morris was a participant and a leading player.
