	Rudy Vallee guestbook
		As an inveterate radio listener in the 1940s, I was attracted to Rudy Vallee because of his voice, saxaphone and humor..especially with Joan Davis.
		We lunched with Rudy and Ellie one splendid afternoon and I got a nostalgic earful; I later became, for the briefest time, RV's agent in conjunction with a teacher at LA Pierce COllege, and, yes, we actually set up a gig for Rudy at a college, doing his one man show.
		Among Rudy's final recordings was a public service announcement he made for the USDA Forest Service and The Advertising Council in the late 1970s (1977 or so) called "Stand By Your Campfire," sung in the style he employed in "How to Succeed in Business." Very humorous piece.

		Rudy Vallee became something of a symbol of the late twenties crooner.
		Rudy may be forever remembered by most of the public with his raccoon coat and his megaphone singing as a vagabond lover but the stories that insiders told depict a nasty, cheap, greedy, tyrant - one of the most unpleasant individuals in show biz according to those who knew him.
		Unfortunately, Vallee recordings are often the only newly released early versions of many songs that help defint the twenties and early thirties.

		When Rudy and Eleanor met in 1945, the Yalie "crooner" was already past the apotheosis he had reached during the Depression Era, and the schoolgirl had to ask her mother who Vallee was.
		As a chronicle of Rudy's career, Eleanor's account is perplexing?in part because the author has an aversion to dates?but as a barometer of waning stardom, it is occasionally poignant.
		From television offers and film scenarios that never materialized to his Broadway "comeback," Eleanor focuses on the twilight of Rudy's career and offers the lasting lesson that fame is fickle.
