One-Way Ticket to L.A. is the story of how Barbara Wells got out of Ohio, worked as a nurse in Los Angeles, met and married a fast-talking comedy writer from the Bronx, and with him built one of the most respected marriages in Hollywood. While most show business marriages run their course faster than a television season, Barbara and Garry's lasted 53 years. With mutual support and encouragement, she stayed at home to raise their three children before returning to nursing, while he produced some of the most successful television shows of all time, including Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, and directed 18 movies, among them the iconic Pretty Woman and The Princess Diaries. Together, Barbara and Garry traveled the globe, worked with some of the brightest stars in Hollywood, and met three U.S. presidents. One-Way Ticket to L.A. is a tale of two successful lives, well lived and well played, whose marriage was a shining example of loyalty, hard work, dedication, and, most of all, love.
