Our Times With Showbiz Legends
THIS ENTERTAINING BOOK HAS INSPIRED A TELEVISION SERIES!
Beyond Our Wildest Dreams is a book about two sisters barely out of high school who were flown to Hollywood after national auditions to be part of the singing and dancing girl group The Golddiggers.
Despite being only on a date or two, performing in Las Vegas, appearing on television, and touring worldwide was eye-opening!
The Alberici Sisters, Maria Lauren, and Linda Eichberg wrote this historical book about "how it was" during the "glory days" of entertainment and the television variety show era of the groovy 1970s!

Golden Beginnings
The Golddiggers were hired to represent the pretty girl next door who could sing and dance with personality and perform as co-stars on the Dean Martin TV Series and Specials.
"We left our hometowns to become stars but all that glitters is not always gold."

Finding Real Gold
Developing into women of influence, we found power in going outside the box of our early careers to reinvent ourselves. We found success in different professions, and callings to philanthropy while never forgetting the value of family.
Walking the red carpet for Dean Martin's Lifetime Grammy Award are Deborah Pratt, Linda Eichberg, Maria Lauren, Susan Buckner, Marie Halton, and Peggy Gohl.

Golden Friendships
Over the decades, we found the real gold of friendship. This bond has supported us to overcome the trials and the cancers of life, birth, death, marriage, and divorce. Our sisterly affection for each other is a golden blessing, that is treasured.
