Recalling his life and career spanning over 50 glorious years, the legendary actor gives special attention to the two great loves of his life, Dinah Shore and Sally Field, his son, Quinton, as well as to the countless people who got in his way on his journey to Hollywood domination. With chapters on his early childhood, how he discovered acting, played poker with Frank Sinatra, received directing advice from Orson Welles, his golden years in Hollywood, his comeback in the late 1990s, and how his life and art led him to found the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre.
Review: A very honest book by Burt but to call it an autobiography is incorrect. It starts off like one when he is writing about his early life, then it moves onto chapters about different people (famous or otherwise) that Burt has known throughout his life. They are mini biographies in themselves written by Burt about them. There is nothing wrong with that and they are very informative but not very revealing about Burt himself, just his relationship with them. I did enjoy the book and would recommend it but be prepared to read more about other people than Burt Reynolds himself.
