Description
David Soul's life story is not what you might expect. Born in the American Midwest into a strict Lutheran family, he moved to New York City determined to make good and change his life forever. And by putting in a lot of hard work, make good he did - first as a masked singer who performed on television as 'the Covered Man' and then as an actor, who landed a role as the blond half of a cop duo in what was to become, in its day, the most popular television series on the planet. "The Covered Man" exposes the fascinating workings of the 1970s Hollywood celebrity machine from the inside, and the stresses and strains it caused those on whom it was simultaneously sprinkling fairy dust. David talks with unflinching honesty about his life, his loves and his passionate political beliefs, now and then. This revealing, entertaining and moving book bears witness to the extraordinary life of an extraordinary man.
