In The Valley of Yesterday (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798691731778)

Before the freeways, smog, and congestion, there was a magical, undeveloped land called the San Fernando Valley of California. It became a fruitful place where oranges, ranches, and movie stars grew in abundance.
Jeane Harvey's stories of growing up in a show-business family in this one-time Garden of Eden sweeps us back to those enchanted times. Her father, Leo "K" Kuter, was one of Hollywood's most notable art directors. His dinner conversations were as likely to be about Errol Flynn or Humphrey Bogart as about the children's grades. Jeane's brother, Kay E. Kuter, best known for his role as Newt Kiley in Green Acres, was a lifelong working actor in both film and television.
As a child, Jeane fell under the spell of Jeanette MacDonald, and wanted nothing more than to grow up and sing-and so she did. She performed in opera, musical comedy and concert. Along the way, another performer caught her fancy, her Prince Charming, Al Harvey. With no regrets, she gave up the stage to marry and raise two handsome and caring sons, Mason and Van.
As Jeane remembers what life was like in such a realm, she sweeps us along to a place forever gone-but not forgotten.
