Review:
'Geddeth Smith has written a great page turner! I loved it! I couldn't put it down. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. For anyone interested in the Theatre―with a capital 'T'―and the life and times of a great American actor-manager, this is a must.' (Rosemary Harris, actress)
'Smith chronicles the rich details of Hampden's life and career in a fluent, reader-friendly, almost anecdotal flow of cogent narrative. It is an engaging chronicle of a fascinating man of the theatre.' (Paul Nelsen, Professor Theatre and Drama, Marlboro College)
'Geddeth Smith's biography of Walter Hampden is a long overdue celebration of a great actor; it captures, and sets vividly in his time, a man whose performances I have venerated since childhood. I am grateful that his life has been so handsomely remembered.' (Fritz Weaver, actor)
Geddeth Smith's engaging biography of Hampden, the first and long overdue, goes some distance in restoring the actor's legacy . . . He succeeds simultaneously in illuminating Hampden's achievements while creating a vivid portrait of the evolving American stage of an extraordinary era . . . Without question, Hampden's memory is well-served by this meticulously researched and highly readable biography, a necessary volume for any theatre collection or scholar of the American stage. (Broadside)
