About this book
"A simply written, effective tale of an ambitious and hard-working American actor trying to make his dream come true." —
Los Angeles Times
The sparkling memoir of a movie icon's life in the footlights and on camera, The Good, the Bad, and Me tells the extraordinary story of Eli Wallach's many years dedicated to his craft. Beginning with his early days in Brooklyn and his college years in Texas, where he dreamed of becoming an actor, this book follows his career as one of the earliest members of the famed Actors Studio and as a Tony Award winner for his work on Broadway. Wallach worked with such stars as Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Marilyn Monroe, Gregory Peck, and Henry Fonda, and his many movies included The Magnificent Seven, How the West Was Won, the iconic The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Mystic River. For more than fifty years Eli Wallach held a special place in film and theater, and in a tale rich with anecdotes, wit, and remarkable insight he recounted his magical life in a world unlike any other.
"Mr. Wallach's writing is just like his acting: pure, deceptively simple, and honest, and with not a little humor. He has a sharp eye and tells some wickedly funny and touching stories . . . A great read!" —Liam Neeson
"[Wallach is] an excellent tour guide through his life, from Red Hook to the Army to Broadway and the big and small screens . . . He comes across as a man who's had a helluva lot of fun entertaining us." — Variety
