Canadaâ??s most celebrated and acclaimed actor lets loose in a magnificent memoir that will delight and enchant readers across the country. A rollicking, rich self-portrait written by one of todayâ??s greatest living actors. The story of a â??young wastrel, incurably romantic, spoiled rotten" â?? his privileged Montreal background, rich in Victorian gentility, included steam yachts, rare orchid farms, music lessons in Paris and Berlin â?? â??who tore himself away from the ski slopes to break into the big, bad world of theater not from the streets up but from an Edwardian living room down."Plummer writes of his early acting days â?? on radio and stage with William Shatner and other fellow Canadians; of the early days of the Stratford Festival in southern Ontario; of his Broadway debut at twenty-four in The Starcross Story, starring Eva Le Gallienne (â??It opened and closed in one night, but what a night!"); of joining Peter Hallâ??s Royal Shakespeare Company (its other members included Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave and Peter Oâ??Toole); of his first picture, Stage Struck, directed by Sidney Lumet; and of The Sound of Music, which he affectionately dubbed â??S&M."He writes about his legendary colleagues: Dame Judith Anderson (â??the Tasmanian devil from Down Under"); Sir Tyrone Guthrie; Sir Laurence Olivier; Elia Kazan (â??this chameleon of chameleons might change into you, wear your skin, steal your soul"); and â??that reprobate" Jason Robards, among many others. A revelation of the wild and exuberant ride that is the actorâ??s â?? at least this actorâ??s â?? life. | In Spite Of Myself by Christopher Plummer Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Biography & Memoirs > Artists > Entertainment & Performing Arts P10101, Christopher Plummer<
