Another Turn for the Worse, then Triumph! (Goodwin 4)

In October 1952, Harvey suffered a third bout of debilitating tuberculosis. By 1957, Harvey felt sufficiently strong enough to return to the stage and turned his sights on France and Germany.  Upon his successful European performances, he moved back to New York where once again he worked in various clerical positions.  Fortunately, in 1964, “Lady Luck” surfaced in the guise of a six-month contract at the night club Finocchio’s in San Francisco.
