Seasoned Hollywood movie producer Thomas Douglas Adelman releases ‘Once Upon A Time in Yorkville: From New York City To Hollywood

Join the author as he looks back at his childhood, adult life, and his rise to the top of the entertainment industry

Thomas Douglas Adelman looks back at an eventful life that includes working with celebrities such as Keith Richards, Chuck Berry, and Julie Andrews in his engaging new book “Once Upon a Time in Yorkville: From New York City to Hollywood – A Memoir” (published by iUniverse).

Born in 1954, and having grown up on New York City’s Upper East Side in an upper-middle-class dysfunctional yet loving Jewish family, that oddly celebrated Christmas, Adelman was inspired by his mother, an actress in the forties, and despite being a troubled child who got kicked out of private schools, ended up rising to the top in the entertainment industry. In his memoir, which includes a Foreword by Academy Award and Grammy award-winning director Taylor Hackford, Adelman, a screenwriter, producer, and director, colorfully describes his adventures from childhood, through traveling the world in his youth and for work, to being named the Vice President of Beatle George Harrison’s production company Handmade Films, to ultimately launching his own successful company. Join the author on his fun and exciting life journey in “Once Upon a Time in Yorkville: From New York City to Hollywood – A Memoir.”
