At twelve, Jimmy reported finding a body with a bullet in its head at his Manhattan Beach home; the victim was his mother's fiancé and the boy's close companion. The case was never solved, confounding police, and causing Kirkwood to be haunted by the scene of the crime throughout his creative life. Kirkwood knew who did it. Curry College's Professor of English, Dr. William Russo, tells what really happened to Jimmy Kirkwood as a boy in this compelling look at one of the most prolific show business personalities of the twentieth century. Russo reveals: "He gave me a teasing confession about the true story." "I will make everything extremely clear to you when I get my hands around your throat. You will be shot at sunrise, disemboweled on the Boston Common, etc., etc and I will have a wild gypsy lady I know read your entrails."
