Lacking a true autobiography, this may be as close as we'll ever get to one. I have "Scrounging the Islands with the Legendary Don the Beachcomber" but this gives additional insight to the history of his Hollywood and Hawaii locations. Did he really start in 1932, before Prohibition ended? Was he referring to his "rum runner" days or did he really have a speak easy at the original McCadden location? Finally, are there other examples of interviews with Donn Beach?
