Book description
Chevy Chase is a much-loved Hollywood star. His success as a writer
and actor on Saturday Night Live in the 70s made him a

lay a childhood riddled with abuse. But his remarkable strength and
determination helped him rise above it and find his talent as an
actor, writer, comedian, and musician.
Best known for his role in the National Lampoon Vacation
series Chevy has starred in some of the greatest comedies of our time.
His latest film, Funny Money, received critical acclaim at the
Sarasota Film Festival.
Now, for the first time, Chevy speaks openly and candidly about his
career, his personal struggle with drugs, his friendship with three
American Presidents, and his family life.
