 Interesting, fun stuff, but not provocative May 24, 1999
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
After finding this book in a New York bookstore, I eagerly began reading about my all-time favorite actor. Some of the personal stories about his life and work are interesting and it is fun to hear what he has to say about his success, but that is all. Astaire tells a quick story and then jumps to the next. He does not analyze much about his life, nor does he really get to the root of his personality. But it is hard to criticize such a brilliant man, so I will leave it as that. You will only enjoy this book if you love Fred Astaire as much as I do. Happy reading!
 An American Classic May 30, 2002

Fred Astaire was truly an American classic. Now that movie musicals are dead, proven by the born-dead "Moulin Rouge," no one is ever likely to surpass Astaire or even come close. Astaire tells his story in a disarmingly modest and self-deprecating way. He never says an unkind word about anyone. Does this make for a boring book? On the contrary, what you see on the screen is what you get in this book. You can hear his very voice telling the story.
Fred Astaire captures my heart.....again!! February 18, 2002

An amazing story told by the man himself!! What an incredible life he led! A must have for any fan! I could not put it down. He is an amazing story teller and spends alot of the book on what you don't hear about, his and his sister Adele's incredible vaudeville act and his tour with the USO. What a wonderful man! And he focuses on things other people don't, his flops in show business! You know about his triumph's but he shares his defeats also. Definately worth every penny.
Great! September 8, 1999

I LOVE this book about my favorite actor ever! Fred Astaire always keeps the story lively, and he never shows any self-pity. Even my friends who don't watch Astaire movies found the parts I showed them interesting and well-written. Read this book!
