"A baseball coach of some note once opined, 'Nice guys finish
last.' Terry Lee Rioux's well-researched and readable From Sawdust
to Stardust is warm, charming and inspirational -- especially for
those who work just out of the limelight, and never curse their
luck. For Star Trek fans, it's a chance to re-enter the final
frontier with a really nice guy."
-- Ronald J. Drez, author of Voices of Valor and Remember D-Day
"For those interested in the life and work of actor DeForest
Kelley, they cannot do better than consult From Sawdust to
Stardust, Terry Lee Rioux's thorough and engaging life story of the
beloved actor."
-- Nicholas Meyer, screenwriter and film director
