The Lowest Entry-Level Job in Hollywood, Part Two

seattlepi: "I Should Have Stayed Home is one of the great, if largely unknown, Hollywood novels. Written by Horace McCoy (1897-1955), author of They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1933), it is the tale of young Ralph Carson, a wanna-be from Georgia who comes to Hollywood to be discovered. The title of the book sums up the results of his effort. It's a message that should be plastered on all Hollywood city limit signs, in L.A. bus depots, train stations and airports."
