One of the most admired actors of our time looks back on a career that has spanned more than 50 years of triumph and disappointment. His memoir, warm, witty, and fascinating, is witness to an era of American entertainment. of illustrations.
"This memoir is a peripatetic selection of Malden's enounters with larger-than-life Broadway figures... like Kazan, Strasberg, and Brando. The 1950s were Broadway's heyday but also the time of blacklisting, and Malden paints a vivid picture here of those times. Moreover, the actor eschews the 'down-and-dirty tell-all memoir' so common now to offer his views on the various acting techniques and methods he came upon. Recommended." - Library Journal
