the rumor was the writer was someone Arnold screwed and dumped.  scorned woman.  talked to everyone Arnold had falling outs with.

the one line that stood out in my mind was..........' Arnold still has unpaid speeding tickets in Germany!!!'

Agree. I still have the hardcover. Goes up to when he was filming The Running Man. At least you are not going to get his PR bullshit like with his autobiography.

This was the first book on Arnold I ever read, even before The Education of a Bodybuilder. Was worth the read at the time and I enjoyed it, but a lot of the stories you've obviously got to take with a pinch of salt seeing that it was just a tabloid rendition of Arnold's life.

Funded by the Democrat party after the Republicans won the 1988 Presidential election. On the back of Arnold campaigning very hard in Columbus and they felt that won that area and also influenced the end result. She even admits that in the book.

She offered Barbara Outland $25,000 to go on the record with her interview which she declined (what a legend). Where the fuck does someone like her get $25,000 for a low end source of information? A political party.

I think a lot of the information came from Rick Wayne.

Well, if not, there's always defamation.

You would think that Arnie being Arnie would want to protect his "legacy" if someone was writing untrue statements?  ::)

I particularly liked the feud he had with Sly over Nielson.

I have it. It's definitely an interesting read. The thing that stands out most from the book, is she claims Arnold's father was a Nazi. Not to mention she claimed Arnold used to escort wealthy male businessmen.

I think he only did private posing for schmoes, no touching. Or having your way with a citrus fruit.
