A few years ago I wrote a book about Great Neck, the town where I was then living.
It's full of stories about the celebrities who also once inhabited the Gold Coast peninsula, like F. Scott Fitzgerald, the author, who found inspiration for "The Great Gatsby", while living there and the kings of comedy, Groucho Marx, W.C. Fields, Alan King and Andy Kaufman. The composer George M. Cohan, wrote "Yankee Doodle Dandy" while living in Kings Point.
Thanks to my son, Danny, who did all the research, and then some.
There are plenty of photos, too. See if you can figure out which one is of the house I lived in. Here's a link to buy the book:
