Customer Reviews

Very entertaining memories

This was certainly a pleasure to read, and I find myself going back and reading over certain passages that make me laugh out loud. Mr. Harrison had a very complex personality, and some of his reactions were almost childlike--which makes some of his interactions with other actors, directors and wives very amusing. Mr. Garland did a wonderful job of revelaing the man (Rex Harrison) without passing judgment or buying into the second-hand interpretations of others. It was also great to follow so closely the day-to-day difficultis of producing the revival of such a classic as My Fair Lady.

So good it makes you believe he is still alive

When I read this book I was so engrosed that I could not put it down I was in my bed for 5 days untill I had finished the book and I mis the man him self.
