Romanoff, Prince of Rogues

The Life & Times of a Hollywood Icon

by Jane Pejsa

Here for the first time is a book that captures the true life story of 
Prince Michael Romanoff, that rogue of uncertain origin who became Hollywood's most celebrated restaurateur as well as its longest reigning prince.

Just who was this faux prince and how did his metamorphosis all come about? Thanks to Prizewinning author Jane Pejsa, the tale is finally told. With material carefully researched and in a writing style most entertaining, Jane Pejsa Has brought to light not only his unfortunate childhood but also the adventures that led him to the persona of Prince Michael Romanoff. The book is rich in anecdotes and fully illustrated. It is a documentary that reads more like a fairy tale.

	Begin with an incorrigible child out of Russian Lithuania,
	Ship him on an orphan train to heartland America,
	Track his circuitous life journey, with its many pitfalls and pratfalls, through London and Paris, then across the entire breadth of America,
	Watch him become New York's favorite enfant terrible and finally emerge in Beverly Hills as Prince Michael Romanoff, celebrity restaurateur and confidant to Hollywood's greatest stars, from Chaplin and Bogart to Marilyn Monroe and Sinatra.

It is not by accident that Prince Michael's success and vindication occurred in Hollywood, the ultimate land of illusion.
