Description

Scandalous, sentimental, frank, and sincere - the ultimate inside account of a television and film icon.

Burt Reynolds has been a Hollywood leading man for six decades, known for his legendary performances, sex-symbol status, and storied Hollywood romances. In his long career of stardom, during which he was number one at the box office for five years in a row, Reynolds has seen it all. But Enough About Me will tell his story through the people he’s encountered on his amazing journey. In his words, he plans to “call out the assholes”, try to make amends for “being the asshole myself on too many occasions”, and pay homage to the many heroes he has come to love and respect.

Beginning with Reynolds’s adolescence as a notable football player and the devastating car accident that ended his sports career, But Enough About Me takes listeners from the Broadway stages where Reynolds got his start to his subsequent rise to fame. From Oscar nominations, to the spread in Cosmopolitan magazine that remains a notorious pop-cultural touchstone to this day, to the financial decisions that took him from rich to poor and back again, Reynolds shares the wisdom that has come from his many highs and lows.

He is also ready, now more than ever, to dish. Reynolds famously romanced Dinah Shore, Sally Field, and Loni Anderson, to name only the top few; batted eyes at Bette Davis, Greta Garbo, Goldie Hawn, Farrah Fawcett, Marilyn Monroe, Candice Bergen, and so many more; went a few rounds (or more) with the likes of Donald Trump and Helen Gurley Brown; and rubbed elbows with Jon Voight, Clark Gable, Clint Eastwood, Frank Sinatra, Orson Welles, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, and Johnny Carson, among many others. Through it all, Reynolds reflects on his personal pitfalls and recoveries and refocuses his attention on his legacy as a father and an acting teacher, leaving readers with a classic from one of Hollywood’s most enduring and treasured stars.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“The literary equivalent of finding oneself at a cocktail party with the guy who tells the best stories.... It’s juicy, but not salacious, gracious without being cloying and ultimately impresses...such a joy to read.”(Palm Beach Post)

“[W]ildly entertaining.... Highlights - and lowlights - from his colorful past include playing football at Florida State, romances (Loni Anderson, Sally Field), debilitating health problems and a bankruptcy.” (The Hollywood Reporter)

“Throughout this often-surprising life story - capably coauthored by veteran showbiz writer Winokur-Reynolds reveals himself to be more thoughtful and introspective than his public image might suggest.” (Booklist)

Nobody had more fun than Burt!

Wonderful stories of people and moments in Burt’s rich full life that made positive and memorable impact and some negative too. Narrated by Burt is like listening to an old-timer recall experiences with emotion catching his voice when acknowledging folks he loved and cared about that have passed. Imagine what its like to read aloud your own biography as an elder and honour Burt with some grace as you patiently listen him share his story. Throughly enjoyable going down memory lane with Burt!

Dont be fooled by the good reviews

Im a huge Burt Reynolds fan and was really looking forward to this book especially as he was reading it himself,
but OMFG!
Audible should be ashamed of themselves for first of all allowing Reynolds to read this and embarrassing himself.(He sounds like hes on medication)
And secondly for putting this out and letting people spend money on it knowing how garbled it sounds
