The format is a bit different but once you get use to it – it flies by. Every other chapter is George’s life story. The alternate chapters are about a person that George admires or has something to say about including folks like Dean Martin, Eva Gabor, Carol Burnett, Frank Sinatra, etc. Kennedy had a miserable childhood and even now, wonders if he will meet those who mistreated him in heaven. There were many good behind the scene stories of his films and the people he worked with. He spends the end of the book talking about his idea of God and heaven and has an interesting take on it.

(Applause Books). "These are memoirs of a kid born in New York City in 1925. His dad, George Senior, was a pianist, composer, and orchestra leader at Proctor's Vaudeville Theatre, and his mother, Helen, played in a classic dance troupe. Hanky-panky ensued. They married, and I soon was the result... I write like I talk. A long time ago I tried making 'talking and telling the truth' one and the same. That isn't just difficult; it means painfully reviewing things you've been led to believe since you were a child. That's very hard to do. Like many, I have marched along adhering to conventions (sex, color, church, party, gang) without examination. There's a wonderful, protective 'togetherness' in that anonymity. You obey or are damned, less joined together than stuck together. You become an echo rather than a voice. This book is about what happens when you stop fearing and think. I like writing, but warmed-over BS is not on the menu. You are the most important thing in life. Every phrase in the book awkward or not is how I think and question everything. I wrote every word as if we were sitting together. I want you to think, too..." George Kennedy, from the preface Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
