About Tom North
Tom North was a part of one of America’s most famous families—the Beardsleys, massively covered by media and depicted in the movie--Yours, Mine and Ours—featuring Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda, which was the fourth highest grossing movie of 1968 and the Golden Globe winner. They appeared to be the blissfully blended Beardsleys, but they were anything but blissful; in fact they were the beaten and battered Beardsleys. The real story behind the media facade is told in Tom North's new book, True North---The Shocking Truth about “Yours, Mine and Ours.”
