— A new book on Andy Kaufman, who of course worked his famous feud with
Jerry Lawler, is being released tomorrow. Titled Kaufman Lives, it was written
by longtime writing partner Bob Zmuda and Kaufman’s girlfriend at the time of
his death, Lynn Marguiles. The book promises to reveal details about Kaufman’s
life, “including surprising secrets that Andy made Lynne and Bob promise never
to tell until both of his parents had died.”
The book also includes a “candid inside take on the Milos Forman film Man on
the Moon” and Zmuda’s thoughts in detail on why he believes Kaufman faked his
own death, exactly how he did it and why Andy will return.
