Chuck Barris to speak

BOWLING GREEN — Chuck Barris will discuss his latest book, “Della,” on Aug. 19 at 6 p.m. at the main library.

“Della” is an affecting memoir of a life cut short. Della Barris, the only child of television icon Chuck Barris, died of an accidental drug overdose in 1998.

She was 36, addicted to cocaine and alcohol, and she was HIV-positive.

Chuck recounts his life with her in an attempt to understand his failings, to share his doubts, unanswered questions, tremendous heartache and especially his tender memories of fatherhood.

Chuck Barris is a former television show creator and producer, whose credits include “The Dating Game,” “The Newlywed Game,” “The Gong Show,” and “Treasure Hunt.”

He is the author of several books, including “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” (adapted into a major motion picture) and the New York Times best-selling novel “You and Me, Babe.”
