This Is Your Captain Speaking

Audiobook

The remarkable life, career, and faith journey of Gavin MacLeod, the beloved star of The Love Boat and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

For 16 years, millions of Americans welcomed Gavin MacLeod into their living rooms every Saturday night. This veteran of stage and screen transformed himself from a seasoned character actor into the leading, lovable father-figure of Captain Merrill Stubing in The Love Boat at the height of TV's boom years.

From his humble theatrical beginnings in upstate New York to Radio City Music Hall and on to Hollywood, Gavin MacLeod was on the fast track to success. However, a few hard life lessons—like dealing with a divorce—taught him that the key to happiness can only be found through a deep faith in God, and he feels his work for Christ is more important than any award.

The consummate storyteller, Gavin shares his fondest memories of meeting and working with countless stars, such as Cary Grant, Steve McQueen, Gregory Peck, Bette Davis, Frank Sinatra, Ethel Merman, Ella Fitzgerald, Ronald Reagan, Milton Berle, and Fred Astaire.

In This Is Your Captain Speaking, Gavin shares:

  • Behind-the-scenes accounts from the early days of New York theatre, TV shows, and Hollywood
  • Personal stories never shared before on the death of his father, struggles with depression, and his painful divorce
  • How he found an enduring faith in the hostile world of entertainment, calling on God and never giving up
  • A nostalgic look back at the golden era of American television, This is Your Captain Speaking will take readers on an uplifting and inspiring journey into the life of one of TV's most beloved actors.

    Praise for This Is Your Captain Speaking:

    "Gavin epitomizes the old-fashioned concept of a gentleman. He is a loving, generous, and authentic seeker of God's truth. His life story speaks for itself."—Kathie Lee Gifford
