Rita Hayworth dancing by candlelight in a small Mexican village;
Elizabeth Taylor devouring homemade pasta and tenderly wrapping him
in her pashmina scarf; streaking for Sir Laurence Olivier in a
drafty English castle; terrifying a dozing Jackie Onassis; carrying
an unconscious Montgomery Clift to safety on a dark New York City
street. Captured forever in a unique memoir, Frank Langella's
myriad encounters with some of the past century's most famous human
beings are profoundly affecting, funny, wicked, sometimes shocking,
and utterly irresistible. With sharp wit and a perceptive eye, Mr.
Langella takes us with him into the private worlds and privileged
lives of movie stars, presidents, royalty, literary lions, the
social elite, and the greats of the Broadway stage. What, for
instance, was Jack Kennedy doing on that coffee table? Why did the
Queen Mother need Mr. Langella's help? When was Paul Mellon going
to pay him money owed? How did Brooke Astor lose her virginity? Why
was Robert Mitchum singing Gilbert & Sullivan patter songs at
top volume, and what did Marilyn Monroe say to him that helped
change the course of his life? Through these shared experiences, we
learn something, too, of Mr. Langella's personal journey from the
age of fifteen to the present day. "Dropped Names" is, like its
subjects, riveting and unforgettable.
