Summary: The Boy with the Betty Grable Legs
Review: Having been a child actor myself, I could well relate to the tale masterfully told my Mr. Skip E. Lowe. What a story!~

What I loved most about Skip's life story was that he did it all himself! Travelling the world on no money except what you make at the clubs takes guts baby!

Those who follow their hearts desire and explore the road less travelled always win my heart. Skip is a wonderful man, a sort of little wizard. Skip e Potter. HA! I laughed so hard at certain points of the book that I peed my bloomers. Sometimes, it was so sad I cried a river of tears.

But it was always haute entertainment. I sincerely recommend the Boy with the Betty Grable Legs for all lovers of life, travel, bohemia, and the great show people and the great, great legends, (our teachers) like Skip E!

Summary: One Helluva Ride
Review: I picked up Skip E. Lowe's book on the recommendation of a friend, but had no idea that I was in for such an amazing read. In addition to having some unforgettable stories to tell, he is able to share them with complete emotional honesty, which provides surprisingly human insight into this larger-than-life world in which he has lived. I recommend this as a "must read" to all who are interested in learning about the Golden Days of Hollywood, the truly fascinating character once known as Sammy Labella, and the ups and downs of an unconventional life. By relating his madcap adventures and the lessons he has learned, Skippy does the best job I've ever seen at creating a road map for the road less travelled.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hollywood Crazed
Review: My friend suggested I read this book, knowing how I love to read true stories about Hollywood Celebs. I did not really know much about the author except I think I've seen his cable show a few times. WOW! What a surprise. I could not put this book down. From the very first page, I was hooked on the very interesting and colorful life of this amazing man. And his travels and adventures are a hoot. And I emailed about 10 of my friends and insisted they purchase this book--I am not giving my copy away.

I hope Mr. Lowe doesn't stop at just this book...I believe he has a few more books in him.

Summary: The Man Who Was Artie
Review: Okay, I'll admit it. I bought Skip E. Lowe's memoir with the idea that it would be a horrendous hack-job full of celebrity groveler and rampant name-dropping. Needless to say, I was floored when The Boy with the Betty Grable Legs turned out to be a compelling autobiography written with panache and a good deal of humility.

Lowe's book is difficult to put down. Lowe does well to balance his personal tragedies (Lowe seemed to attract molestation the way flowers attract bees) with his career as an entertainer. While his brief mention of his part in BLACK SHAMPOO is akin to Orson Welles skipping over CITIZEN KANE, Lowe's book manages to stand tall on its own shapely legs. (ISBN: 0964963582)

Summary: The Heart, Soul, Guts and Humor of a Worldly Entertainer!
Review: Skip E. Lowe has traveled the world, and his offbeat yet captivating bio details with heart, soul, guts and humor the life of the entertainer in all its glory!

Honesty, sincerity and a strong dose of wacky humor enliven
Mr. Lowe's show biz odyssey through Hollywood, New York, Europe, Asia and back to Hollywood. This is a travelog, a Who's-doing- Who, a tell-all, and a loving bio all in one.

As you turn the page, you are drawn closer and closer to this amazing master showman. It is a must-read.

Skip E. Lowe makes you proud to be a homo-sapien!

Summary: A WONDERFUL PAGE TURNER WITH LEGS
Review: Skip E. Lowe's autobiography, 'The Boy with The Betty Grable Legs' runs a high speed race through his life and it is on a
very fast track. No flagging, no dragging, no sagging.
This book, like Skippy, moves with olympic energy and soul
sharing humanity. With laughs, gaffs and shafts, there is no
waiting to get to the good parts. Every page is alive with a
story that is immediately satisfying.
I was intending to politely browse the book but Skippy
snags my interest from the very first page and doesn't let me go.
I felt I graduated a speed reading course, it reads so fast.
What a life Skippy has led! It can't be true!
Not that he has adventured with great names and far away
places that we can only dream of, but that he has acted
on convictions where most only moralize.
If you meet him, he's small.
If you know him, he's giant.
