Gene Wilder defined film comedy in the 1970s and '80s. But this is
no traditional autobiography, rather it's an intelligent, quirky,
humorous account of key events that have affected him in search for
love and art. In this very personal, fascinating book, Wilder gives
a great insight into the creative process on stage and screen. He
discusses his experiences of working with the very best of movie
talent, including Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Sidney Poitier and
Richard Pryor, and tells how he developed his own unique style from
his early days at The Actors' Studio with Lee Strasberg. Amongst
other incidents, he describes his time in the UK, which he has
great fondness for, studying at the Old Vic Theatre School in
Bristol. During this period he came top of his class at fencing and
doorstepped Sir John Geilgud to ask him to explain the use of
iambic pentametre. Wilder also talks amusingly about his failed
love life off-screen (including 4 marriages) and is candid about
much darker times such as the death of his third wife, comedienne
Gilda Radner, from cancer. He also reveals his own recent battle
with the disease, which he's now come through, and which changed
his perspective on life. This isn't a traditional celebrity 'tell
all' but an insight into the life and mind of a great comic actor
who has a rare ability to write as well as he performs.
