TOM SELLECK!!!

I have been a fan of Mr. Selleck since admiring him in this 1979 CHAZ cologne ad which adorned a friend's bedroom wall.

The ad perfectly captures the masculine image that made him a breakout star. The fragrance was promoted with the memorable tagline, “The fragrance that’s almost as interesting as the men who wear it.” The campaign coincided with Selleck’s growing fame just before and during his iconic role as Thomas Magnum on Magnum, P.I., which would soon make him one of the most recognizable television stars of the 1980s. With his signature mustache and laid back charisma, Selleck quickly became a major pop culture figure and a defining television sex symbol of the era.
So how is it that we came to see this much loved man? I received this announcement, "Warwick's (one of my favorite independent bookstores), in partnership with Writer's Symposium by the Sea, presents Tom Selleck as he discusses the new paperback edition of his memoir, You Never Know: A Memoir, in conversation with Dean Nelson. Tom Selleck is an award-winning actor and producer best known for his iconic role as Thomas Magnum in the original Magnum P.I. television series. Among the many unforgettable roles he has played are PI Lance White on The Rockford Files, Peter Mitchell in Three Men and a Baby, Matthew Quigley in Quigley Down Under, and Peter Malloy in In & Out. He was beloved as Dr. Richard Burke, Monica's older boyfriend, on Friends and recently starred as NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan on the hit crime drama Blue Bloods, for 14 seasons."

His memoir is described as, "Frank, funny and open-hearted, You Never Know is an intimate Hollywood memoir from one of the most beloved actors of our time. In his own voice and uniquely unpretentious style, the famed actor brings readers on his uncharted but serendipitous journey to the top in Hollywood, his temptations and distractions, his misfires and mistakes and, over time, his well-earned success. Along the way, he clears up an armload of misconceptions and shares dozens of never-told, behind-the-scenes stories from all corners of his personal and professional life, including his rambunctious California childhood."
For over an hour we were beguiled. All expectations were exceeded. Tom Selleck is who we had all hoped him to be!
“Luck is unpredictable,
but talent tends to take advantage of it.”
"My mustache gets so many questions
he has his own agent now."

There was far too much revealed for me to share here. I recommend you get the book. I can't wait to read it. Wow.
“And the more I learned, the more
I was willing to deliver myself
to the uncertainty of the future.”
Joined by Cindy and her daughter, Brit, it certainly was a night to remember. More about my outfit tomorrow!
