A must read! One of great comedians, and his life!
This is a fantastic comedian - and he has worked with some of the greats of all kinds, such as W.C. Fields - you learn so much in his journey, from his start in comedy, and the way radio, silent films, and talking movies changed comedy and film over the years, plus the many life lessons that have been learned along the way.
