Made up mostly of excerpts from intimate interviews with family, childhood friends, famous castmates, and writers, <i>The Chris Farley Show</i> is a vivid portrait of a performer, told plainly by the people who knew him best at every stage of his life. These hundred or so interviews piece together the complex back-story of a hugely talented, big-hearted guy who could make the funniest people in the business laugh with "just a look," but whose vulnerability and "puppy dog personality" charmed friends and family into letting him off the hook--preventing him from getting help when he needed it most. Funny and heart wrenching, <i>The Chris Farley Show</i> is a must-read for fans of Farley and of the people who loved him (including David Spade, Chris Rock, Tim Meadows), as well as anyone looking for a glimpse into life on the stage. <i>--Daphne Durham</i> 2166882 6 5 2008 The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts total:482|5:145|4:212|3:107|2:16|1:2| 482 1928 728 134 4 3 false false Fri Jul 04 06:35:24 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 07:58:18 -0700 2008 Live from New York" book takes a pretty harsh hit from someone claiming he was misquoted in the SNL history). ...more...]]> 3 3 false false Wed May 21 08:54:32 -0700 2008 Wed May 21 09:06:30 -0700 2008 It's real depressing to read about his endless struggle with his addictions.
