About this title

Synopsis

In a witty memoir the man behind the voice of Mr. Magoo offers an account of his career, marriage, and friendships, and provides an insider's view of Hollywood and life in the entertainment world

Reviews

Actor Jim Backus tells the story of his long show business career, with asides from Henny, his wife of 45 years. The title is apt, as the book at times seems to be more digression than autobiography, but Backus is a skillful, amusing raconteur. From early days as a stage actor and radio announcer, Backus went on to both film and television. Best known for the TV series I Married Joan and Gilligan's Island (neither a high point in his career), Backus has pithy comments about many of his friends and co-workers. His description of the terrors of doing live TV drama is a gem. Not an essential purchase, but enjoyable. Marcia L. Perry, Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield, Mass.
