A Way of Life, Like Any Other

Darcy O'Brien, the son of 1930s movie stars George O'Brien and Marguerite Churchill, wrote this fictionalized account of his childhood. With his parents divorced and his family's lavish lifestyle long gone, O'Brien spent most of the 1940s and 50s bouncing between his father, a down-on-his-luck former cowboy star and his mother, a faded actress.
