Description
AND IT ONLY TOOK 100 YEARS... is the remarkable true story of a man who lived through a century of change-onstage, behind the camera, and in love. From his days as a young Broadway actor and struggling understudy to his rise as President of Warner Television, Alan Shayne built a life defined by artistry, perseverance, and integrity. Through triumphs and heartbreaks, he never stopped chasing excellence, whether guiding Hollywood's brightest stars, producing Emmy-winning television, or shaping the future of entertainment with care and vision. He was responsible for creating some of the most popular TV shows in history including ALICE, DUKES OF HAZZARD, WONDER WOMAN, GROWING PAINS, and SCARECROW AND MRS KING. Movies that he worked on include ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE, THE HOUSE WITHOUT A CHRISTMAS TREE, and THE BOURNE IDENTITY. Yet the real story unfolds far from the lights of Broadway or Hollywood. It's found in his six-decades-long partnership with artist Norman Sunshine, a love story that endured secrecy, prejudice, and time itself. Together they created a shared life filled with beauty, humor, and devotion, proving that the most extraordinary thing of all is the quiet miracle of lasting love. Only about 0.03% of Americans ever reach 100, and fewer still arrive there with such grace, insight, and gratitude. Reflective, wise, and deeply human, AND IT ONLY TOOK 100 YEARS... is a celebration of work, love, and the mysterious force that binds them-the hard-won truth that, in the end, a full life is its own masterpiece.
