What's So Funny? - My Hilarious Life (Paperback): Tim Conway, Jane Scovell What's So Funny? - My Hilarious Life (Paperback)
Tim Conway, Jane Scovell; Foreword by Carol Burnett
R448 R417 Discovery Miles 4 170 Save R31 (7%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Six-time Emmy Award-winning funny man Tim Conway, best known for his roles on "The Carol Burnett Show," offers a straight-shooting and hilarious memoir about his life on stage and off as an actor and comedian.
In the annals of TV history, few entertainers have captured as many hearts, tickled as many funny bones, and brought as many families together in living rooms across America as Tim Conway. In "What's So Funny?" he brings his hilarious hijinks from the screen to the page.
Conway's often-improvised humor, razor-sharp timing, and hilarious characters have made him one of the funniest and most authentic performers to grace the stage and studio. As Carol Burnett has said, "there's no one funnier" than Tim Conway. Now, Conway takes us on a seventy-year, rags-to-riches journey that is touchingly comical and ultimately inspiring, from his pranks in small Ohio classrooms during the Great Depression to his pitch-perfect performances on national TV and in major motion pictures. Along the way, Conway shares hilarious and often moving accounts of the glory days of "The Carol Burnett Show"; his famous partnerships with entertainment greats like Harvey Korman, Don Knotts, and Dick Van Dyke; and his friendships with stars like Betty White, Bob Newhart, and, of course, Carol Burnett, who also provides an intimate foreword to the book.
As Conway continues to tour the country giving live comedy performances that enchant his always eager audiences, "What's So Funny?" brings his warmth, humor, and heart to delight and inspire fans everywhere.

Oona Living in the Shadows: A Biography of Oona O'Neill Chaplin (Paperback): Jane Scovell Oona Living in the Shadows: A Biography of Oona O'Neill Chaplin (Paperback)
Jane Scovell
R456 Discovery Miles 4 560 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Born into a family blessed by genius and plagued by tragedy, Oona lived in the shadow of greatness from an early age. One of the most exquisite and enigmatic beauties of her generation, she intrigued the public for decades. Now, in this stunning biography, new light is shed, at last, on the mystery that was...OONA

The daughter of Nobel Prize-winning playwright Eugene O'Neill, Oona mixed easily among Manhattan's cafe society and was named New American Debutante of the 1941-42 social season. But at just eighteen she shocked the world by running off to Hollywood and marrying a man thirty-six years her senior: the brilliant and controversial Charlie Chaplin.

From the child who yearned for her absent father's love, to the woman who became the mainstay in an extraordinary marriage; from dedicated wife and devoted mother of eight to devastated widow, this book reveals a spirit as fascinating as the geniuses who surrounded her. Extensively researched, Oona's story is rich with exciting insights into her successful union, her world of celebrity-Hollywood in its heyday-and the allure and intellect that made her a heroine in her own right.

Nancy Zeckndorf, Jane Scovell

This is a story of a young girl from a small town with a big dream that took her to Juilliard, Broadway, summer stock, the stage of the Metropolitan Opera and the Santa Fe Opera, and introduced her to her husband William Zeckendorf Jr. Her memoir overflows with the glamour of a life lived among the famous figures of mid-century New York society and the grit necessary to succeed in the professional world of dance. Fascinated by art and architecture, the vivacious ballerina Nancy Zeckendorf became a formidable development partner with her husband and a philanthropic leader in the performing arts - her fundraising ability is an art form unto itself. "I love hardware stores and tools," she said of her common-sense approach to construction projects. Indeed, Nancy was a guiding force in the expansion of the Santa Fe Opera, the Lensic Performing Arts Center, and the premier community of Los Miradores where she lives now in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
