About this book
The star of Hitchcock's
Rope and
Strangers on a Train "recalls life onstage and in film in an engaging, colorful memoir" (
Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
Synonymous with the golden age of Broadway, the dazzling lights of Hollywood, and the rise of television arts, Farley Granger's charm and talent captivated the acting community and audiences alike. Working with creative visionaries like Alfred Hitchcock, Luchino Visconti, and Nick Ray, Granger was a celebrated figure in films like Strangers on a Train, Rope, Senso, and They Live by Night, bringing to the big screen a stunningly memorable presence.
But behind his characters, he was an intensely complex man. In his richly told memoir, Granger details his life with disarming candor. Rich in personal insight, he describes his relationships with both men and women and reminisces about legends he knew with private familiarity—from Shelley Winters and Joan Crawford to Leonard Bernstein and Tyrone Power.
Recreating not only his personal struggles but his legendary struggle to free himself of his contract with Sam Goldwyn, Granger reveals none so elegantly as he does himself. Include Me Out is as much a story of classic Hollywood glamour as it is a collection of iconic theatrical portraits, all from the man who knew them all.
"This polished and perceptive memoir etches a scintillating portrait of life inside Tinseltown soundstages where 'nothing was real except anxiety, insecurity and fear' . . . The book has a huge celebrity cast, from Mike Todd, Rita Hayworth and Cornelia Otis Skinner to Leonard Bernstein and Peggy Guggenheim. Granger and Calhoun write with a stylish and iridescent flair." — Publishers Weekly
