Hollywood during the golden age of the movie
studios, and the back to the family home in

odds, Johnny turned an Irish Jig into a
polished dance routine. Later he would wow
Vaudeville and attract the attention of the
Hollywood talent scouts.
Shortly after arriving in Hollywood as a
teenager, Johnny found himself cast in
Movies with June Carlson, Humphrey Bogart,
Spencer Tracy, Jimmy Cagney and Marlon
Brando. As an adult he lived next to Audie
Murphy, his weekend hunting companion.
Johnny's story will thrill and amaze all who
love movies and the iconic start who made
them. He was there, working and socializing
with them, and his memories are destined to
become a fascinating addition to the history
of Hollywood.
