I have only known John Lithgow from Third Rock (growing up) and recently on Dexter / Perry Mason but have been truly fascinated by his personality. This book was such a joy to go through. John takes you through 50's to 90's in great detail, his personal relationships, his struggles, and successes. You truly were casted in magical times John!!
