Goldsmith lost his virginity in high school to a prostitute, arranged by his friend Anthony Hatzenberg, a Jewish kid who went by the name Tony Mambo. The Puerto Rican woman invited Goldsmith up to her apartment and complained about her bladder and internal problems and told him she needed an operation. She took his $5 and sat on the bed which was covered in damp T-shirts. Goldsmith delivered lines that his friend Tony had given him: 'Edie honey, I'm new at this game. You've got to show me the ropes'. She did and he writes that he 'felt powerful' and that Edie had 'made me a man'. While at Boston University Goldsmith became obsessed with a woman who lived opposite his dorm and used to undress naked in the window. After running into her at a laundromat, they ended up in bed at her place. Goldsmith knew he was on his way to becoming a legend among his friends as he made sure they could all see what we were doing from their dorm window. He writes that he pulled the woman's underwear off and as they had sex he was 'exhilarated to learn I could make a grown woman moan'. Wait, there's more on the NEXT page. Goldsmith thought he was a 'superstud' but he hadn't penetrated her - and he ejaculated immediately when he did. He writes that he felt 'ashamed and embarrassed' but when he got back to his dorm he gave his friends high fives and bragged: 'She was a great f***' In the book, Goldsmith says that conquests included 18 nurses, six teachers, countless receptionists - including one at an abortion clinic where he had gone with another woman - and a runner-up in the Miss Florida competition. Goldsmith dated a French woman called Mona while he was working as a garbageman. Her previous paramour was the Aga Khan, the spiritual leader of 15 million Ismaili Muslims. One night he was about to get into a threesome with Mona and another woman called Debbie when she asked him to take out the trash - and got locked out of the apartment without his clothes. The women laughed as they refused to let him back in so he scuttled off to his car using a newspaper as a loincloth. Goldsmith's day got even worse when his car ran out of gas on the highway home and he was nearly arrested when police came to move him. Luckily he knew the officer who helped him get off the exit. One of Goldsmith's best roles was in in 1968 western 'Hang 'Em High' alongside Clint Eastwood - but he claims he blew that break after sleeping with the star's girlfriend. After he arrived in Hollywood Goldsmith says that he used to hang around a cafe called the Pink Turtle inside the Beverly Wilshire Hotel because it was packed with 'the most beautiful array of starlets'. He discovered that they were all there hoping to see Warren Beatty as he lived in an apartment upstairs, so used it for his own purposes. Goldsmith would walk up to the women and say: 'Hi! Are you waiting to see Warren?' Well, Warren's tied up at the moment. But he asked me to buy you a drink'. Elaine Stritch seems to be one of his favorite girlfriends and when she wasn't parading around in her mink coat she cooked Goldsmith lamb chops with Roquefort sauce at 4 am, he writes. Goldsmith describes flame-haired Tina Louise in prose that The Most Interesting Man In the World would be proud of. She would always be naked by the time he arrived at her home just down the hill from Marlon Brando's Los Angeles house and was so demanding he thought he would die. He writes:: 'She was the most beautiful woman I had ever been with. 'She had such great stamina I was afraid I would have a heart attack by the third or fourth round...she refused to stop. 'She was a true beauty, tall, elegant, with a cool distance and complete, unfettered surrender'. Click NEXT for more... Goldsmith writes that his other lovers included 'Jack Warner's much younger girlfriend, one of Groucho Marx's wives and two congressmen's wives'.

He writes: As a child actress, she would suffer abuse at the hands of studio executives, who passed her around like chattel...she and the other actors were frequently drugged up'. Goldsmith appeared in more than 500 TV shows including Dallas and Dynasty, countless TV films and commercials but he never cracked Hollywood. The low point was in 1987 when he played an actor who ends up dead in the short-lived CBS crime drama 'The Law & Harry McGraw'. The producers rented a rundown funeral home and opened a coffin they wanted Goldsmith to climb into - only to find a woman's corpse in there already. The director told him to 'just get in the f****** coffin' so the crew hauled the woman out and Goldsmith clambered in, the stench of death and formaldehyde overwhelming him. During his journeyman career, Goldsmith became so broke that he spent one night working as a gigolo after a woman he slept with suggested he would be good at it. Goldsmith writes that he met Beth, the wealthy wife of a mobster casino mogul, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel where she stuck her leg out of the door frame to entice him in. Goldsmith describes it as looking like an 'atrophied chicken drumstick'. They went out for dinner when Goldsmith noticed the 33 karat diamond ring on her finger. He admits: 'After driving a garbage truck and hauling insulation for three dollars and hour, a fortune like that was powerfully seductive'. After dinner, they went for a walk where Beth put her hand inside Goldsmith's raincoat pocket. He began to caress her fingers to try and ease the ring off of her finger but it wouldn't budge. He writes: 'I tried harder and she started massaging my hand, digging deeper into my pocket, and she continued to confuse my efforts for advances of ardor. 'Then her hand and ring were out of mine as she continued through my pocket and proceeded to grab my balls'. Goldsmith escaped into a taxi - ending his brief career as a gigolo. Goldsmith was born in The Bronx in New York in 1938 and was a contemporary of Dustin Hoffman at the Neighborhood Playhouse in Manhattan. There was tension between the two as they often competed for roles and one day Goldsmith brought things to a head at a restaurant. Goldsmith writes that he shouted: 'I know why you don't like me. Hoffman sat there, dumbfounded. 'Because I'm going to make it and you're not,' I stated defiantly, and stood up and left the restaurant. I didn't return to that lunch. But over the next 40 years, I would have those words to eat'.

By the time 2005 came round, Goldsmith was living in the camper of his 1965 diesel pickup at a campsite in Malibu. He writes that he was 'in survival mode, conserving every dollar' and was 'living like a hobo',. 'The sports jacket that I wore on special occasions was folded in the back, with a camping stove and other gear. Sitting on the opened tailgate, I put on my pants, socks, and loafers. 'I thought back to my first days in Hollywood, hauling around industrial waste to earn a few extra dollars and changing into my suit in my garbage truck, which I also used to get around to auditions. 'Now, I leaned in front of the side mirror with my razor, trimming a few spots on my beard line without shaving cream or water. After more than 40 years, had anything changed?' Goldsmith's agent called him and told him she had a beer commercial for him and they wanted 'a Hemingway kind of guy'. There was no script and he had to improvise, ending with the line: And that's how I arm-wrestled Fidel Castro'. When Goldsmith went along everyone was decades younger than him and they were all Latino. He left, called his agent who ordered him to go back. When it was his turn to be called in he got frustrated and took off his sock and his shoe. The crew asked him why he had done this, and in a moment of inspiration, he decided to ape his good friend Fernando Lamas. Click NEXT to read more...

He heard laughter coming from the booth and realized he had them. He writes: 'Months later, I was in an LA studio, speaking the line: 'Stay thirsty, my friends''. The invitation to President Obama's 50th birthday party started with a call from the Secret Service. Goldsmith could not believe his luck as he walked around Camp David, the Presidential retreat. Goldsmith decided to set up a joke playing on his on-screen persona as a way of breaking the ice with the President. Nowadays he lives in a remote house near Manchester, Vermont with his wife Barbara and their dog He writes: 'Wanting to make a strong impression, I quickly picked up five or six shafts and went over to the target and stuck them together in a tight cluster near the bull's eye. 'William Tell couldn't have done better. Then, I went back to the shooting position and stood with a bow and a single notched shaft, admiring my 'work'. The gag worked and the President creased up when he saw it. Goldsmith describes the party as 'two unforgettable days' and the start of a friendship with the President that would last during his whole time in office. Goldsmith retired from being The Most Interesting Man In The World last March and in his final episode, he was sent on a one-way trip to Mars.

In the book, he says: 'As I approach my eighth decade, with more fans and adulation than I could ever deserve, I can say with certainty that to be interesting you have to be interested. 'You can watch the parade that is life - and live vicariously through others, as many do - or you can get in and participate in your own journey. And the best time to go for broke is when you're already there'. (Source: DailyMail)
