My Lucky Life in and Out of Show Business by Dick Van Dyke

5.0

This is quite simply one of my favorite autobiographies and one that I highly recommend to fans of Classic Hollywood. Dick Van Dyke shares his tales in showbusiness with a voice that is extremely conversational and makes you feel like you've known him forever. He doesn't give the dirty lo-down on the biz, which will disappoint people who only want the scoop...but Dick's tone is frank and honest, you know he's pulling no punches about his experiences. In an interview on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson promoting the book, Dick mentioned that he was originally going to name it "Well Everyone Else Has One"... That title, as Ferguson, pointed out would have probably been a little shocking and too sarcastic for a star who is so charming and charismatic. And, I agree! His book is about how luck seemed to be on his side for most of his life, and I will say, after reading this book, I felt lucky having read it! :D
