Peter Clenott

Sex, Drugs, and Jazz Peter Marin sings the standards in the Great American Songbook with the verve and depth of a jazz singer who was good enough to begin working Los Angeles-area nightclubs professionally as a teen. A protégé of the late, great Andy Williams, Marin was likewise schooled by the legendary Johnny Prophet. By age 52 he had his share of fame, heart breaks and financial ups and downs. His life in show business was pressure filled yet intoxicating. Glamour, sex and drugs were daily happenings. Celebrities, producers, con-men and gangsters were his clients and friends. And then one day, out of the blue, it all came crashing down. The years of fame and constantly being expected to be "On" and hide his troubles behind practiced smiles became too much. At age 53, Peter Marin suddenly lost his memory. He was a hollow shell. Hollywood Entrepreneur: Behind Practiced Smiles is a first-person account of Peter's path as a well-connected street-smart entrepreneur to his devastating breakdown and dramatic rebound.
