Title: Enter Alan Alda: The Real DEal
Review: Smart, self-effacing, determined, loving...it's all there. I knew nothing about his childhood, his handsome and successful father with whom he had a great relationship. Their competitive drive, their help to each other throughout their lives, and just how Alan got started in the first place with drama, and comedy.There was just enough stuff about the entertainment industry to make this interesting without all the name dropping, gossip, and other finger pointing that goes on in so many celebrity books. Nothing that I would label tell-all.I was relieved to come away with the same honorable opinion of him as I have always had...his wife and daughters come first. He is a good human and worthy of all the film accolades, but still, I think it is rare that the man actually stands up well to the "part" he plays. However, Alan does.The book was fun, poignant, and full of life. Some good words to live by as well.
