À propos de cet audio

With the television hits The Odd Couple, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and Mork & Mindy, and movies like The Flamingo Kid, Beaches, Pretty Woman, and The Princess Diaries under his belt, Garry Marshall was among the most successful writers, directors, and producers in America for more than five decades. His work on the small and big screen delighted audiences for decades and has withstood the test of time.

In My Happy Days in Hollywood, Marshall takes us on a journey from his stickball-playing days in the Bronx to his time at the helm of some of the most popular television series and movies of all time, sharing the joys and challenges of working with the Fonz and the young Julia Roberts, the “street performer” Robin Williams, and the young Anne Hathaway, among many others.

This honest, vibrant, and often hilarious memoir reveals a man whose career was defined by his drive to make people laugh and whose personal philosophy—despite his tremendous achievements—was always that life is more important than show business.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Garry Marshall is walking entertainment. He is smart, insightful, funny… and so is his book.” (Henry Winkler)
"Even though he speaks slowly with a distinctive New Yorkese Bronx accent, he has managed to quickly create, write, and produce a raft of beloved television series that speak 'American'. I am happy that he gifted us with a witty memoir.” (Carl Reiner)
“Thanks to my brother I have a life. I’m sorry I almost ruined his during Laverne & Shirley.” (Penny Marshall)

Full disclosure - I picked up Garry Marshall’s story with moderate expectation and mild curiosity; I needed something easy to listen to on a flight, something I could easily pick up and put down.

But I absolutely loved it-
Garry Marshall has a soft, easy & matter of fact, way of telling his own story and sharing his insight into the people he worked with, including sister Penny from Laverne and Shirley notoriety.

I did pick it up and put it down but it was more because I wanted to allow myself space to absorb his stories. I had no idea how many shows and movies I love he’d been a part of… and the repertoire of actors he’s shared sets with!

And his clear admiration for, and devotion to his amazing wife Barbara and the family they built is heartwarming - and for a Hollywood family… I’d have to add inspiring!

1 thought - his tips for actors should have been at the beginning. In my opinion it stole from those last few comments and the emotion of the ending -

My fav autobiographies are where I feel like I made a new friend after listening - Garry Marshall did that … I want to call him uncle Garry and get invited for family dinner :)

PS (if you enjoyed this as much as I did, I recommend his sister Penny Marshall’s book. Same family parallel Hollywood era… Very different lives)

I feel like I made a new friend…

I always said Garry Marshall was my favourite director because the movies I knew he directed, I really liked. I had no idea he had done so much on both movies and television. I learned a lot and nothing can beat that Garry enthusiasm (and New York accent) telling his story. He basically goes through each project and shares some stand out stories from each. Very nice.

More than I Expected
