"absolutely outrageous"

George Hamilton, who spends most of the year in Palm Beach, Fla., was in town recently to discuss his self-deprecating and witty autobiography, "Don't Mind If I Do," which he wrote with William Stadiem. He's the first to admit that his life has been "absolutely outrageous." Hamilton had a wild upbringing with a much-married mother who traveled the country with her three sons looking for love and a father for her children. Along the way, he lost his virginity by the time he was 12, became a movie star before he was 20 and bought booze for Robert Mitchum while making his first MGM picture.

"Films were pale to what my life was," Hamilton said.
