What a fun read! Wow!! straight from the horses mouth, Jim Mahoney tells the story of what it was to be the GUY that these Hollywood A-listers turned to when they “stepped in it” and needed cleaning off. “Get Mahoney” kept me binging chapter after chapter of stories about these Mega Stars. Things we would never know if not for this incredible autobiography. I loved every bit of this great book by the gifted story teller, Jim Mahoney, and you will too! Read the book. Trust me now, believe me later, you’ll love it! Read more

The Wizard Behind the Curtain A highly entertaining and revelatory memoir that reveals how public relations shapes perceptions about public figures. In addition, it shows how popular culture has evolved over the past half century! Mahoney has worked with some of the biggest stars of the era – many of whom (not surprisingly) have since attained iconic status. Someone once wrote that a movie star’s career is based on perception and momentum, but to add to that, a star’s career sometimes needs a gatekeeper to avoid bad (or no) publicity! I would like to thank Jim Mahoney for a job well done (since some of his celebrity clients couldn’t be bothered)! I enjoyed reading about his Hollywood adventures with all of the colorful personalities that he encountered, plus it was fun to read about early to midcentury Los Angeles. Highly recommended!
