Never Have Your Dog Stuffed : And Other Things I've Learned
Paperback Edition: 1
He's one of America's most recognisable and acclaimed actors-a star on Broadway, an Oscar nominee for The Aviator, and the only person to ever win Emmys for acting, writing, and directing during his eleven years on M*A*S*H. Now Alan Alda has written a memoir as elegant, funny, and affecting as his greatest performances.
Never Have Your Dog Stuffed is not a memoir of show business ups and downs. It is a moving and funny story of a boy growing into a man who then realizes he has only begun to grow. It is the story of turning points in his life - from the moment as a boy when his dead dog is returned from the taxidermist's shop with a hideous expression on his face, to the decades-long effort to find compassion for the mother he lived with but never knew, Alan charts the events that would make him what he is - if only he could survive them. Never Have Your Dog Stuffed is the crowning achievement of an actor, author, and director, but surprisingly, it is the story of a life more filled with turbulence and laughter than any he's ever played on the stage or screen.
