Críticas

"Reading Charles Grodin's book is like sitting in the makeup trailer with him (as I was privileged to do on two films.) You laugh hysterically, you say, 'Huh? Where does he come up with this stuff?' and you shake your head in wonder at the uniqueness of his brilliant mind. And, you are moved by his commitment to giving a voice to the voiceless in our society. Then...you laugh hysterically again. That's Charles." "When Chuck Grodin plays a character in a movie, no matter how funny that character might be, Chuck is relentlessly honest, detailed and probing. That's how he is in this charming, thoughtful book, which examines what may be his funniest and most interesting character: the one called Chuck Grodin."--Alan Alda "Heartwarming, funny, brilliant. Chuck's new book is all of these, and more!"--Henry Schleiff "CEO, The Hallmark Channel " "I love this book and I'll tell you why. I've known Chuck Grodin for many years now and between you and me, I've often wondered how exactly he became whoever he is. Finally, he reveals everything and he turns out to be a regular guy. In fact, he's a great guy who quietly does good things for a lot of people and we're all better off for it. Oh yeah, he happens to be a great actor too."--Regis Philbin "Millions of people know Chuck Grodin as a longtime star of stage, screen television, and radio. Now they will learn that he not only is devastatingly funny, but passionately humane and refreshingly candid as well."--Governor Mario Cuomo

Reseña del editor

In How I Got to Be... Charles Grodin discusses the people and situations that shaped him, his values, and his opinions. Organized in rough chronological order, Grodin looks back at major events in his life. Included are hilarious and poignant stories from his early family life; college adventures; romantic dalliances; key moments in his entertainment career, including working with Robert DeNiro, Martin Short, Miss Piggy, and Beethoven; his talk show and 60 Minutes II; and, finally, what he's been doing the last 10 years, including his advocacy work for the homeless and the disenfranchised. Grodin lets us in on the private moments that forged his identity, and public moments that make you wonder if he's making it all up. There will be lots of behind-the-scenes stories about the many actors, directors, writers, and politicians he has worked with.

Grodin has entertained and enlightened us for over 35 years. The book is written in his inimitable style.
