INSCRIBED ("To Marilyn & / Nathan my / favorite / restauranteurs / Wherever you / are") and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page. Memoir of the character actor who blossomed into a full-fledged star later in his career. According to the review that a previous owner carefully trimmed and mounted on the ffep, "Quinn strips himself naked in a way that's almost unprecedented in superstar biographies. Unsparingly honest, self-made and furiously ego driven, Quinn often proves as compelling in print as he is on film." Signed by Author .
