Riassunto

This memoir is a peripatetic selection of Malden's enounters with larger-than-life Broadway figures . . . like Kazan, Strasberg, and Brando. The 1950s were Broadway's heyday but also the time of blacklisting, and Malden paints a vivid picture here of those times. Moreover, the actor eschews the 'down-and-dirty tell-all memoir' so common now to offer his views on the various acting techniques and methods he came upon. Recommended - Library Journal

Product Description

One of the most admired actors of our time -- on stage, screen and television -- here looks back upon a career that has spanned more than 50 years. Born in Chicago and raised in Gary, Indiana, Karl Malden, the son of immigrants, worked in the steel mills before making the giant leap to Broadway, where he appeared in such plays as Golden Boy with the Group Theatre, All My Sons and, most memorably, as Mitch in A Streetcar Named Desire. Brought to Hollywood to recreate that role on film, he won an Oscar and a screen career that included such classic movies as Kiss of Death, On the Waterfront and Patton. On television he starred as detective Mike Stone in The Streets of San Francisco and won an Emmy for Fatal Vision. His memoir, warm, witty and fascinating, is witness to a half-century of American entertainment; history in the making as seen by a man who has never betrayed his heritage, his talent or his humanity.
