Q

Is "My One and Only" based on a book?

A

No. My One and Only is loosely based on the boyhood experiences of actor George Hamilton, whose mother took him and his brother on a cross-country trip in order to find a new husband. Hamilton related anecdotes related to the experience to the late Merv Griffin. The screenplay was written by Charlie Peters.
