I highly recommend listening to Tambor read the audiobook of his memoir. Funny, sweet, insightful, heartbreaking at times. I enjoyed the author's company on my morning walks this week. ( ) As evidenced by the prefatory exchange of letters with his publisher, Jeffrey Tambor initially was a reluctant memoirist, but his Are You Anybody? is an excellent autobiography, full of warmth, great wit, and valuable life lessons.

Tambor shares the triumph of landing his first Broadway role, but not before experiencing the humbling that is commercial work (and how even saying "my socks don't cling" can prove a challenge). He invites you behind the scenes of his wildly successful television shows, but he doesn't leave out the pit stops he made at addiction, Scientology, and what it feels like to get fourth billing after Sylvia the Seal on The Love Boat. At last, Tambor answers the question "Are you anybody?" with a promise that success doesn't mean perfection and failure most definitely is an o Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
