Interesting, but ultimately slightly disappointing biography of the funny man most often associated with early Saturday Night Live, the Vacation movies, and Caddyshack. The biographical revelations are truly fascinating, and explain his comedic style. However, the writing style for the book is quite flat and lifeless -- there was no "flow" and at times it merely felt like a litany of facts and figures and less a portrayal of Chevy's life and influences. I'd recommend this to die-hard SNL fans looking for Chevy's version of the first season, but otherwise it was something of a disappointment. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Chevy Chase is a much-loved Hollywood star. His success as a writer and actor on Sat"urday Night Live" in the 1970s made him a household name, but it had been a long, hard route to the top for Chevy--behind the fame lay a childhood riddled with abuse. But his remarkable strength and determination helped him rise above it and find his talent as an actor, writer, comedian, and musician. Best known for his role in the National Lampoon's Vacation series Chevy has starred in some of the greatest comedies of our time. Now, for the first time, Chevy speaks openly and candidly about his career, his personal struggle with drugs, his friendships with three presidents, and his family life. Honest, funny, and informative, this is the complex and fascinating world of Chevy Chase. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I certainly don't agree with his politics, and while everyone always says how nice he is he has certainly taken jabs at political conservatives (some really bad jabs.) I hope that even if I don't like someone's politics and even if I don't like them personally, that I never speak with such hatred.
To hear so many speak of someone such as Chevy as being so greatly intelligent I guess I just find myself believing that if one is that intelligent he wouldn't get his 'knickers in a twist' and lose all semblance of intelligence just so that he might rant and rave about the person with whom he disagrees. I just don't see the point in that.
I did learn a bit about his movies and often there was blame or excuses made...that the movies which resulted in poor showings were done as favours to others. Hmm...maybe. Just hard to believe all of them were that way. I still love Chevy Chase as an actor and probably always will. I do think he is ery funny and I will search out more of his films which I haven't yet seen. ( )
