Funny yet down-to-earth, honest yet full of exaggeration, actor
Walter Matthau (1920-2000) will always occupy a place in America's
heart as one of the great comic talents of his generation. Born
Walter Matuschanskayasky into Jewish tenements on New York's Lower
East Side, he was a child actor in New York Yiddish theater, and
later a World War II Air Force radioman-gunner. He paid dues for
ten years on Broadway, in summer stock, and on television before
landing his film debut The Kentuckian in 1955. By the time of his
1968 casting as cantankerous but lovable slob Oscar Madison in the
film version of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple, Matthau had won major
Hollywood stardom. Based on dozens of interviews and extensive
research, this book covers the breadth of his often-complicated
personal life and multi-faceted career, including his unforgettable
performances in such films as The Fortune Cookie, A Guide for the
Married Man, Plaza Suite, Charley Varrick, The Taking of Pelham One
Two Three, The Sunshine Boys, The Bad News Bears, California Suite,
and Grumpy Old Men.
