Seller's Description:
New. Book Soft Cover. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Drawing on his father's recollections and on the memories of those who worked with him, John Lahr examines the history of modern American show business, through the long and glorious career of his father-the raucous low-comic star of burlesque, vaudeville, the Broadway revue and musical, Hollywood movies, and the legitimate stage. In the examination of Bert Lahr's chronic insecurity and self-absorption, the breakdown of his first marriage, and the affectionate arm's length he kept between himself and his adoring second family, Lahr's book also brings the reader closer than any other theater biography to the private torment of a great funny man. This edition includes a new preface by Lahr, "The Lion and Me, " his intimate reflections on family life with his distant, brooding, but lovable father. "An always intelligent, often moving biography that shifts with impressive ease, depth and clarity from a son writing about his father to a theater critic and cultural historian analyzing a great comic and his time."-Jules Feiffer.
