Description de l'ouvrage:
This book traces the extraordinary life and career of Mel Brooks, who has ridden a wave of show business success perhaps unsurpassed by anyone of his generation. Offering many insights into the wacky world of Brooks and his many collaborators, as well as an intimate look into his successful marriage to the brilliant and beautiful actress Anne Bancroft, It's Good to Be the King might just be the most delightful, engaging, and entertaining biography you'll ever read.
Description de l'ouvrage:
For many years in many forums this highly-extroverted wit has been offering biting observations about life’s inequities and man’s foolhardiness. Best known for such comedic screen hits as The Producers, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankenstein, Brooks has a rich show business background. It includes performing at Catskill resorts, writing for such classic TV series as Your Show of Shows, Caesar's Hour, and Get Smart, and scripting for Broadway (including New Faces of 1952, Shinbone Alley, and the recent stage musical adaptations of The Producers and Young Frankenstein). Over the decades, Mel's collaborators in mirth have included his Academy Award-winning wife, Anne Bancroft, Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Woody Allen, Gene Wilder, and Madeline Kahn. This biography chronicles the full life of this perennial mirthmaker--a man bent on educating while entertaining his audiences.
