Description

Rita Hayworth dance by candlelight in a little Mexican town; Elizabeth Taylor consuming homemade dinner and tenderly covering him in her pashmina scarf; streaking for Sir Laurence Olivier in a drafty Language fortress; terrifying a dozing Jackie Onassis; transporting an unconscious Montgomery Clift to security on the black Nyc road. Taken forever in a distinctive memoir, Frank Langella's variety activities with a few of the previous century's most well-known people are occasionally surprising, funny, evil, greatly affecting, and totally amazing. With sharp wit and a perceptive vision, Mr. Langella takes us with him in to the personal sides and fortunate lives of literary lions, presidents, royalty, celebrities, the cultural elite, and the greats of the Broadway stage.
