Learn how Garner's boyhood was much darker than his fans ever knew. Our exclusive interview reveals what really transpired after his mother's premature death - the ensuing poverty, the abandonment, the primal wounds. Yet those formative experiences planted in Garner an iron resilience that carried into adulthood. Which begs the question: how far can a man be pushed before he breaks?
Delving into Garner's physical and mental health, Gigi discloses alarming events like her father's quintuple bypass and multiple strokes which left lasting damage. Through it all Garner presented a facade for the media while his talent eroded. Hear about Garner's on-set frustrations as action sequences became impossible, and the shocking truth about his rivalry with stunt double Roydon Clark.
Gigi also comes clean about financial and familial pressures. Garner fought bitterly against studios just to gain equitable pay, nearly ending his career in the process. At home things fared little better; Gigi implies their relationship grew incredibly strained especially as she came of age in the chaotic world of Hollywood. What motivated her tell-all revelations after so many years of silence on Garner's troubles?
While Garner charmed the world as Maverick and Rockford, daughter Gigi unveils the depth of adversity buried underneath - from a trauma-filled childhood to health calamities and career conflicts that nearly destroyed him. James Garner's inspiring public story had its dark hidden dimensions. Discover the startling details only revealed through this groundbreaking exclusive account from someone who saw it all.

OK...I did not see nor hear anything about ''The Awful Truth''.....WHAT 'Awful Truth'? I, dearly, loved James Garner in EVERYTHING he was in, but he pulled on my heart strings with '' Maverick''. Even though I was a child, back then....in fact, a tot/baby, I DEARLY LOVED HIM!!!! I use to tell my parents I was going to marry him, someday. I am 67, and even, to this day, he makes my heart sing!

Exactly, it was "great good truth" how he kept his marriage and family together despite the challenges. No mentioned here, and by, his own admission, he smoked marijuana from a early age until late in life.

I think James Garner had integrity, intelligence, looks, compassion, honesty. I think what you saw on the screen is also what was inside that man. From everything I read about him seems to back up my beliefs. My favorite actor, and person as a good one. Loved Rockford Files with Noah Berry and the movie Murphy’s Romance with Sally Fields.

The story I heard him tell was that he basically fell into acting through an agent at a strip mall office, with no formal acting training, a vet actor I liked said that he was such a natural that the formal wasn't necessary. I've seen and like Maverick, my favorite is the Rockford files. I watched with my stepdad who loved Noaah Berry who that he was great at playing the dumb dad who was actually way smarter than he let on. I miss those kind of shows.

I had the good fortune of meeting James Garner on the set of Maverick. I was 15 years old. He was charming and so good looking. I remember it like it was yesterday. I like both roles, but of course, Maverick had more personal meaning to me. However, I watched Rockford too. Carol from California

I've always loved James Garner in every role he played. He always reminded me of my own Dad. It turns out that he was just like me Dad. My Dad was in the Navy and in the Korean War and got blown off a ship only him and one other man survived. The rest of the crew perished. But my Dad was always a dedicated family man to My Mom and my brother and me. He was a handsome guy just like James Garner. He passed away when he was 68. The same age I am today. He had Parkinson's Disease and he passed away from a massive heart attack. But I have to say that every time I saw James Garner when he was still acting and believe me I watched everything he was ever in including The Gift with Brian Dennehey and Abigail Breslin and that young man Drew Fuller. I felt the comforting words of my own Father through James Garner. One of the best actors that ever lived. We just don't have men like that anymore. 😘🙏❤️💙😇😇

Warner Bros. 'ruled' over their acting stable of players, with an 'iron hand', paying their top stars as little as $500. a week! Garner did balk at this & I believe, may have been suspended, once! I met James Garner in 1963 & also spoke to Clint Walker, ( on a radio show) 2007, about Jack Warner's treatment of his 'fantastic' array of young & talented players!

I was married to an actor so I know how many of the men cheated even holding a rep for being a great family man! I heard all the stories from my husband about the huge number of men he knew had mistresses or just constantly bedding random women, if you don’t believe it that means your not in a show biz family!
