The story of a -young wastrel, incurably romantic, spoiled rotten -- his privileged Montreal background, rich in Victorian gentility, included steam yachts, rare orchid farms, music lessons in Paris and Berlin --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 - 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 ( -It opened and closed in one night, but what a night! -); of joining Peter Hall’s Royal Shakespeare Company (its other members included Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave and Peter O’Toole); of his first picture, Stage Struck, directed by Sidney Lumet; and of The Sound of Music, which he affectionately dubbed S&M. ---He writes about his legendary colleagues: Dame Judith Anderson ( -the Tasmanian devil from Down Under -); Sir Tyrone Guthrie; Sir Laurence Olivier; Elia Kazan ( -this chameleon of chameleons might change into you, wear your skin, steal your soul -); and -that reprobate - Jason Robards, among many others"---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo ///SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)---.
