DESCRIPTION:
If you were to put David Sedaris and Glenn O'Brien in a blender and add a dash of New York and Hollywood gossip, you would wind up with Alan Cumming. A beloved actor and famous man-on-the-scene, Alan Cumming takes the reader on a wild journey of pithy and cheeky fun, presenting his real-life stories of debauchery during late night Hollywood parties, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and hilarious yet poignant memories of his life, family, and friends. This volume recounts the hysterical and sometimes embarrassing encounters that only Cumming could experience, from awkwardly entertaining Elizabeth Taylor at Carrie Fisher's bi
"Get the book, not the Kindle" according to Beverly A. Sykes. This is as saucy as you would expect from Cumming. However I made a big mistake. I thought I'd ordered the BOOK, but instead I'd ordered the Kindle version. I have one of the earlier kindles and photos viewed on it are horrible. Cumming is a fun snapshot taker, not a photographer, which reduces the quality that much more. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrative and with squinting I could get the idea of the photos, but I want to go to a real store, find the book, and flip through it to see what I missed. By all means, buy this book if you are into irreverent personal stories of behind the scenes Hollywood and Broadw. "Great, fun read" according to Passionate reader. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Mr. Cummings and his escapades over the years. A humorous and poignant story of a man's journey thru his life. His great views of things that are important to him, his love, his dog and all the lovely characters he has met during his escapades on the road to stardom. His photography was a delight as well as spontaneous and funny to behold. Much continued success to you in all your endeavors.. "Absolutely charming!" according to Amy C.. Reading Alan Cumming's writing, and seeing his photographs, feels like making a new friend - an impossibly vibrant, captivating friend. In this and his last book, he doesn't hesitate to share intimate moments of his life, which alternately left me in tears and fits of giggling. Buy this book; you won't regret it!
