I remember seeing Lloyd Haynes, the actor, on TV, but I didn't know the person until I read THE LLOYD HAYNES STORY: A REMARKABLE JOURNEY TO STARDOM by Author Carolyn Haynes. Carolyn does an extraordinary job of weaving the pieces of Lloyd's life puzzle (her own experiences with Lloyd, Lloyd's own writings, his family photos, interviews with family and friends and colleagues of hers and Lloyd's, written tributes to Lloyd) into a lovely story about a remarkable man who overcame numerous obstacles in life to become a talented actor, successful entrepreneur, and an amazing man with a big heart. Carolyn, in telling Lloyd's story, tells a great deal of her own story and also paints a beautiful portrait of their own love story with each other.
The book has a wonderful flow. I found myself reading page after page without a break in the rhythm and flow of words, events, experiences, thoughts, and feelings, an amazing accomplishment. Her ability to bring a place or event to life with the written word is impressive. She normalizes the lives of the rich and famous in a way that we can relate to. I'm certain you will enjoy reading this book, one I highly recommend.

This is the true story of an American hero. Veteran, actor, husband and father... what a journey!

Here is a man, an actor coming into his prime stardom and he meets a woman.. a woman with three children. You would think that would make any man run for the hills but not him. He saw something in her.. something he wanted. Not for the moment or the day or two days but for what would essentially be the rest of his life. Carolyn Haynes tells the story of her late husband, the famous actor, Lloyd Haynes straight from the hip. I had no clue about this great man until I read the full story. Thank you Carolyn for sharing his and your story.
