Priceless Memories Summary

Priceless Memories by Bob Barker

In front of the camera Bob Barker has been invited into the homes of America as host of The Price Is Right, Truth or Consequences, Miss USA, Miss Universe and many other series and specials. Now he shares stories of favourite contestants, episodes, celebrity encounters and behind-the-scenes happenings. He also opens up about his personal life - from being raised on a reservation by a single mother through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, to training as a pilot in the Navy during World War II, through his romance with the love of his life, high school sweetheart, Dorothy Jo and his success at retirement. His support of animal rights has always been a central part of his life and Bob delves into stories of how he has taken on Hollywood and the government in his crusade including his anti-fur stand-off with beauty pageants, his involvement in uncovering animal abuse in movies and tv and the legislation he helped to pass.
