Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition purple boards/red cloth spine/silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Prologue and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "When I thing of jeans, I think of Levi's. When I think of music, I think of the Beatles. When I think of stand-up comedy, I think of Alan King." - Jerry Seinfeld. "There are reasons people become who they are. I am a comedian because I loved to watch funny people. I wanted to be like them. One of 'them' was Alan King. Even though, for a kid, his targets weren't mine (airlines, crabgrass, his brother, the doctor), his style, his timing, were infectious. Nobody works an audience like Alan King. Now I know him. We played father and son in a movie. It was the best eight weeks of my life. I couldn't wait to talk to him. He is as funny offstage as on. Tough, intelligent, cultured, and always funny. He is one of my great friends. He's the first one to call when he sees something of mine he likes and he is also the first one to call when he knows things may be hard. I've learned a great deal from him. How to walk the stage; how to time a joke; how to open up your fly, reach in, and pull your tuxedo shirt down on both sides so it looks smooth; how to never put your pants on and sit down before a show because you'll break your crease; and how to enter a restaurant because some little kid who wants to be a comedian may be watching. I've described Alan as a 'museum of comedy.' When you read this book, you'll understand why." - Billy Crystal. "The autobiography of a man who hs been making people laugh all his life - at once vintae showbiz and vintage King: anecdotal, hilarious, but also surprisingly touching. "This is not going to be a tell-all book. My few dark secrets I'm taking to my grave," Alan King.assures us. Instead, this is thestory of how a son of Russian immigrants - who came to this country in steerage - grew up to live in a mansion that had been built for Oscar Hammerstein. Dropping names whenever possible, he tells terrific stories about Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin, Judy Garland, Billy Crystal, the Kennedy's and dozens of other friends famous and not so famous. His life in comedy and show business takes us on a glorious journey from the Borscht Belt to early success at the Palace Theater and all the way through to the. Martin Scorcese film Casino. Along the way we learn a great deal about a man who still thinks of himself as two people, Alan King and Irwin Kniberg (his given name), who wins our hearts because that kid Irwin is, as he confesses, "still inside there, desperate to do something, to be somebody. Of all his accomplishments, Alan King is proudest of his.marriage to his wife, Jeanette, and of his three children and five grandchildren. He lives in Kings Point, New York.
