SynopsisAlthough not an autobiography in the usual sense, in this personal book, actor Gene Wilder selects the most personal events in his life--ones that have led him to an understanding of the art of acting, and of how to give and receive the love of a woman., Gene Wilder was one of the great comic actors who defined the 1970's and 1980's in movies. From his early work with Woody Allen to the rich group of movies he made with Mel Brooks to his partnership on screen with Richard Pryor, Wilder's performances are still discussed and celebrated today. Kiss Me Like A Strange r is an intimate glimpse of the man behind the image on the screen. In this book, Wilder talks about everything from his experiences in psychoanalysis to why he got into acting (and later comedy-his first goal was to be a Shakespearean actor) to how a Midwestern childhood with a sick mother changed him. He writes about the creative process on stage and on screen, and divulges moments from life on the sets of the some of the most iconic movies of our time. He also opens up about his love affairs and marriages, including his marriage to comedian Gilda Radner. But the core of Kiss Me Like A Stranger is an actor's search for truth and a thoughtful analysis of why the choices he made-some of them so serendipitous they were practically accidental-changed the course of his life., Gene Wilder is one of the great comic actors who defined the 1970's and 1980's in movies.

Getting to know Gene Wilder
This is a wonderful and well written book. I love Gene Wilder, and his description of his childhood and how it affected him in later years was fascinating. A lot of humor, of course, but also some real life sadness when Gilda found out she had cancer and his struggle to maintain his composure caring for her. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, especially all you Gene Wilder fans! This was definitely written "from the heart."Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
