In 1964, novelist/screenwriter Terry Southern met actress Gail Gerber on the set of ""The Loved One"". Though they were both married, there was an instant connection and they remained a couple until his death 30 years later. In her memoir, Gail recalls what life was like with 'the hippest guy on the planet' as they traveled from Los Angeles to New York to Europe and back again. She reveals what went on behind the scenes of Southern's movies including ""The Cincinnati Kid"", ""Barbarella"", and ""Easy Rider"". And she relives the 'highs' hanging out with The Rolling Stones and Peter Sellers in swinging '60s London to the lows, barely scraping by on a Berkshires farm during the '70s & '80s.
