Comedienne Joan Rivers hosted a release party in honor of Alan Shayne and Norman Sunshine’s new book Double Life: A Love Story from Broadway to Hollywood, which was held at The 21 Club on Thursday, October 26.
Double Life, published by Magnus Books, tells the story of the fifty-plus year relationship of Shayne, a former president of Warner Brothers Television, and Sunshine, a painter, sculpter and fashion illustrator. Along with being a personal history involving the likes of Katherine Hepburn, Barbra Streisand and Rock Hudson, it also details the growing acceptance of gay relationships from the 1950s to today.
