About this listen

This is the riveting, brutally honest story of a man’s struggle to make something of himself in the theater. Coming from meager circumstances in the Ozark Mountains, he fights his way up the shaky ladder toward fame. He makes mistakes, goes down blind alleys, fails and succeeds, again and again. But he never quits.

Rising from family alcoholism and dysfunction, Luckinbill takes us on an unforgettable journey from poverty, rejection, and sexual abuse to success on Broadway and in Hollywood. He writes candidly of his part in the social justice revolution of the original hit play and film The Boys in the Band, his roles in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Cocktail, and his TV series The Delphi Bureau. This award-winning actor also tells the story of his four-decade marriage to actress/singer Lucie Arnaz, his journalism, and his Great Americans plays. Through it all, he gains acceptance and forgiveness of his past, and peace and happiness for his future.

It’s a captivating portrait of the life of every person who ever fought for an impossible dream, and finally won it. It’s a story brimming with fierce empathy for all those who strive to rise, to become better, and who never stop reaching for a goal that is more authentic and finer even than dreams.

Boring for the most part.

I was hoping this would be a good book, why else get it. It is just Larry waxing about some plays, movies, and TV he has done or written. VERY little about his and Lucy Arnez marriage or personal life. He talks more about his first marriage and what a jerk he was at that time. He leads you up to talking about Lucille Ball but NEVER goes there. He only says enough to make it clear she was a bad mother and mother-in-law to him and Lucy and a very cold woman whom wanted nothing to do with his and Lucy's kids. No other details given. Click Bait really.
