Summary

From the streets of Lambeth to the glamour of L.A., this is a compelling true story of rags to riches, and sharing those riches with others. From persuading Disney to license their characters for the first time outside the U.S., to convincing film stars to perform in low budget movies, Laurie Marsh has carved success from his confident, entrepreneurial, and collaborative approach to life. His philanthropic work reaches the levels of far more public "givers" such as Bill Gates. Now in his eighties, Laurie still works every day, using his wealth and influence to help as many good causes and charitable organizations as he can, from building community centers to advising the British government on how to make the National Health Service self-sufficient. His is an inspirational and fascinating story.
