Some memoirs are tell-alls and name-droppers, and some are a grateful look back on a life well lived. This book is definitely of the second sort. Jack Haley was a beloved human being in any relationship, job, and situation he was in. This is his story, told in his words, about a wonderful life of a vaudevillian, comedian, actor, and want-to-be writer. From his memoir papers, notes, letters, and diary we get to relive his lifetime highlights--and a few of his low-lights, as he was all about honesty and balance. Grab some popcorn and a box of tissues, because if you are not shedding at least a tear or two by the end, you may want to go see a certain Wizard about a new heart.
