Bruce McNall
A whirlwind true story of making it to the top in sports and Hollywood—just to see it all come crashing down!
For much of his adult life, Bruce McNall has been a player. He started in the ancient coin business and then branched out into horse racing, movies (The Fabulous Baker Boys), and major league sports as owner of the L.A. Kings hockey team. McNall became the toast of Los Angeles, attending glamorous parties and living the life of a celebrity. Eventually, however, Bruce had to borrow huge amounts of money, and ultimately his empire collapsed amid charges of fraud and deception. For admittedly bilking banks out of more than $200 million, McNall spent more than four years in prison.
Fun While It Lasted is the tale of how McNall convinced Wayne Gretzky to play for his Kings; how he helped Merrill Lynch start a coin fund that eventually lost millions of dollars; and how he played fast and loose in Hollywood. This memoir is a compelling look at life at the top, and how hard and fast one can fall.
