EPub Take My lifelock
The stage and screen comic s life story Take My LifeHonestly inspiring It s clear how much love Eddie has for the people in his life from close friends to complete strangers His adoration of Ida is palpable and how much he cares about his children is heartwarming The final chapters of the book especially The Beggar got me teary eyed This book made me proud to be writing my thesis on his films and helping bring his name back into conversation for all the good he has done in the world and the joy he brought to millions of people Take My Life Comedic actor Eddie Cantor reflects on a 50 plus year career that spanned vaudeville Broadway talking pictures radio and television That along with his long lasting marriage to wife Ida and a stable of supportive daughters This was one of the better celeb autobiographies I ve read Cantor had a life that was nothing if not eventful and he sound genuinely humble and down to earth about it I don t know how much of a role co author Jane Kesner Ard played in this but the book reads as if you re sitting down chatting with Eddie himself a mature yet enthusiastic gent still brimming with plenty of razzle dazzle In the 21st century Cantor has suffered because he performed in blackface and a lot of his work has faded into obscurity people now MIGHT know him as a minor character in the HBO miniseries Boardwalk Empire It strikes me as unfair however since this book proves that he was a huge talent with a lot of heart Take My Life This was an entirely charming read Admittedly I m something of a sucker for vaudeville tales but this brought a new warmth to them that I hadn t previously encountered with such veracity My feelings on Eddie Cantor were already immensely positive but the spark that tears through this really set off something within me I think my heart may have grown several sizes and I can t even send him the medical bills Quite the weasel but possibly the most loveable weasel you ll ever discover Take My Life What a great read Stories of the early entertainers and his fund raising skills and his love affair with Ida Written in Eddie Cantor s energetic style Take My Life
