Hollywood Lights, Nashville Nights: Two Hee Haw Honeys Dish Life, Love, Elvis, Buck, and Good Times In the Kornfield

by Victoria Hallman, Diana Goodman

“There is no one on this green earth who could better tell the tales of Hollywood Lights, Nashville Nights than Victoria Hallman and Diana Goodman. And, oh, the tales they can tell! There they were, right in the middle of it all, falling in and out of love with the biggest names in show business. They were given a front row seat to the greatest show on earth, Hollywood, Vegas and Nashville, and were surrounded by some of the most brilliant talent we have ever known. Fasten your seat belts – Hollywood Lights, Nashville Nights will be a bumpy, fun-time ride for all.”

“Hee Haw was all about friends and family having a great time and laughing together – both on the set and with everyone watching at home. One big family! Some of the relationships formed while making that show will last forever. Victoria Hallman is one of those people – my forever friend. I think so much of her because she cares about people. I know she cares about my family and me. I know that she would be there for me if I needed her. As special as she makes me feel, I know she does this for everyone, because she’s just that kind of person.”

[Lewie Dunn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This work is by two of the television show Hee Haw's Honeys, written in four parts two each by Victoria Hallman and Diana Goodman. If you are a fan of Country Music, Elvis, Buck Owens, Holly Gossip or Nashville News, this book will be for you. It is hard to discuss it without giving away some of the spoilers contained within its cover. It is a easy read and a real page turner, you never know what the next page will bring. It was like reading a TV reality show, before there were any. All the diverse players it mentions, Movie Stars, Behind the Scenes Deal Makers, even musicians and hanger-ons, all that makes this a truly good read. A great book for the 50 and over crowd, students of late 20th century Hollywood and Nashville culture. The entertainment industry, and even the beginnings of the use of video in the music industry. Would make a great College Reference book too. This is truly the story of two young women one from Alabama and one from Georgia and their lives that made them stars. Warning: Some sections contain graphic language, sexual references, reference to drug use and other adult subjects.

The writing was good but the content was not what I was expecting. I thought there would be more behind the scenes, making of Hee Haw. A show I grew up watching and loving. It is more about their personal lives. Apparently I didn’t read the description wet well. Gotta hand it to them, they were definitely on a rollercoaster! Narration was good. I like when the authors do it themselves.
