Notes

"From Sawdust to Stardust" by Terry Lee Rioux is the biography of the late DeForest Kelley, the moving life story of one of the most beloved Star Trek professionals ever, tracing his life from his days as a preacher's son in Georgia, to his career as a western actor, to his rise as a pop-culture icon in the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy, to his final days in California. The book includes commentary from many of his family, friends, and professional associates, and a black & white photo insert spanning his life. It'll be available in late January, 2005, right around the time of Kelley's 85th birthday.
