  1. The Orson Welles post was such fun to read!

    And thanks for the heads up on Dyan Cannon's book. I just ran across Jennifer Grant's memoir in Barnes & Noble yesterday. Lots of great reading out there.

    I also saw Dick Van Dyke's autobio. Have you read that one yet? It's called MY LUCKY LIFE, I believe.

  2. I knew about Welles' crazy noses, but this is the most detail I've ever seen about them. I thought it was hilarious.

    Have you read the Grant memoir? It was lovely. She was so balanced, expressing her love for her father while understanding his weaknesses.

    I would love to read the Van Dyke book, if only to read about his times on the Dick Van Dyke Show. I've heard that was a very happy set.
