In such a personal book from the star of many beloved and classic film comedies -- from Producers to Young Frankenstein, Blazing saddles to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory -- Gene Wilder writes in regards to a side of his life the public hasn't seen on the screen. Kiss Me Such as a Stranger is not an autobiography in the most common sense of the word, and it's definitely not another celebrity "tell-all." Instead, Wilder has chosen to write about resonant occasions in his life, events that led him to a knowledge of the art of acting, and -- more important -- to a knowledge of how to provide wish to and receive love from a female.
Wilder writes compellingly about the creative process on stage and screen, and divulges occasions from life on the sets of some of the most iconic movies of our time.
In this book, he talks about everything from his experience in psychoanalysis to why he experienced acting and later comedy (his first goal was to be a Shakespearean actor), and what sort of Midwestern childhood with a sick mother changed him. Wilder explains why he became an actor and writer, and about the funny, wonderful movies he made with Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Richard Pryor, and Harrison Ford, among numerous others. He candidly reveals his failures in love, and writes about the overwhelming experience of marrying comedienne Gilda Radner, as well as what finally had to happen for him to produce a true and lasting commitment to another woman.
A thoughtful, revealing, and winsome book about life, love, and the creative process, Kiss Me SUCH AS A Stranger is one actor's life in his own words.
