Although promoted as “all new” material, there are some re-presentations. The chapter for The Three Stooges is actually only write-ups for Joe Besser and Joe DeRita. Curly Joe’s profile is new material, while Besser’s is an update originally published in Whatever Became Of...? 2nd Annual (1977 Bantam).
In the nostalgia-crazy 1970s, before the internet and home video, information on the actors and actresses from Late Show movies was scant, and sometimes non-existent. The general public only knew the supporting celebrities of television and film in terms of... "whatever happened to...?" Richard Lamparski filled that information void with a series of books, featuring a couple pages each on known, still-living celebrities who had left the public eye.
Relying on a staff of assistants and minimal editorial control, Lamparski's books were often filled with errors. But in their time, were welcomed by fans who had no other source of information on their favorite actors and actresses, and the books became bestsellers as a result.
