Paperback. Etat : Good. A rollicking, rich portrait of a life. And what a life By one of our greatest actors. Plummer tells how this young bilingual wastrel, incurably romantic, spoiled rotten, tore himself away from the ski slopes to break into the big bad world of theatre, not from the streets up but from an Edwardian living room down, and writes of his early acting days as an eighteen-year-old playing the lead in Shakespeare's Cymbeline. We see his glorious New York of the fifties, where life began at midnight, with the likes of Arthur Miller, Carson McCullers, Tennessee Williams, and Paddy Chayefsky, and how Plummer's own Broadway world developed and swept him along through the last Golden Age the American Theatre would ever remember . . . how the sublime Ruth Chatterton (she might have been created by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis) introduced him to the right people in New York . . . how Miss Eva Le Gallienne gave Plummer his Broadway debut at twenty-five in The Starcross Story (It opened and closed in one night One solitary night But what a night ). He writes about his film career: The Sound of Music (affectionately dubbed S&M) . . . Inside Daisy Clover, which brought him together with the beautiful Natalie Wood . . . John Huston's The Man Who Would Be King (Plummer was Rudyard Kipling). He tells the story of accepting Sir Laurence Olivier's invitation to join the National Theatre Company, playing in Amphytron directed by Olivier himself (a great actor but lousy director), and writes about falling deeply in love with and eventually marrying a young actress and dancer, Elaine Taylor--to this day, his one true strength. Seamlessly written, with stories that make us laugh out loud and that make real the fascinating, complex, exuberant adventure that is the actor's (at least this actor's) life.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Canada's most celebrated and acclaimed actor lets loose in a magnificent memoir that will delight and enchant readers across the country. A rollicking, rich self-portrait written by one of today's greatest living actors. The story of a young wastrel, incurably romantic, spoiled rotten - his privileged Montreal background, rich in Victorian gentility, included steam yachts, rare orchid farms, music lessons in Paris and Berlin - who tore himself away from the ski slopes to break into the big, bad world of theater not from the streets up but from an Edwardian living room down. Plummer writes of his early acting days - on radio and stage with William Shatner and other fellow Canadians; of the early days of the Stratford Festival in southern Ontario; of his Broadway debut at twenty-four in The Starcross Story, starring Eva Le Gallienne (It opened and closed in one night, but what a night ); of joining Peter Hall's Royal Shakespeare Company (its other members included Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave and Peter O'Toole); of his first picture, Stage Struck, directed by Sidney Lumet; and of The Sound of Music, which he affectionately dubbed S&M. He writes about his legendary colleagues: Dame Judith Anderson (the Tasmanian devil from Down Under); Sir Tyrone Guthrie; Sir Laurence Olivier; Elia Kazan (this chameleon of chameleons might change into you, wear your skin, steal your soul); and that reprobate Jason Robards, among many others. A revelation of the wild and exuberant ride that is the actor's - at least this actor's - life. From the Hardcover edition. …
