Imagine: He once opened for the Rolling Stones, became one of the top attractions in San Francisco (2nd only to the Cable Car), performed in front of two Presidents and a Queen and became one of the most unique acts in Las Vegas, winning Entertainer of the Year two years in a row – all without saying a word!
Robert Shields went from a teenager performing as a robot in front of the Hollywood Wax Museum to having a top-rated CBS variety show with his wife Lorene Yarnell in the '70s and, unbeknownst to him, became the inspiration for top dancers all over the world.
The cast of this film includes some of the great performers of the era (Tony Orlando, Mac Davis) along with family and friends, all of them assisting in the narration of Robert’s journey, from childhood to present day, helping the viewer to become directly connected to his story and the amazing ride his life became.
Robert's life is one that truly proves anything is possible.
