Name Dropping – Alan King
Don’t Tread On Me – Divine Providence
The comedian recounts some of the high points of his life and career and tells stories about famous and not-so-famous friends, including Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin, Judy Garland, Billy Crystal, and the Kennedys
From Publishers Weekly
Though King has filled many shoes during his 50 years in show business-including those of a boxer, a Broadway producer and an actor-he’s worn out the most leather as a stand-up comic. How appropriate it is, then, that in his entertaining memoir he eschews “heavy drama” and “tell-all” confessions for a head-spinning volley of anecdotes and asides. Some of them are touching, as when he tells of arranging for David Dubinsky to call King’s elderly father, who “revered” the union leader. Most are humorous, often hilarious, like the one about his tomato sauce cook-off challenge to Frank Sinatra, which ended up being judged by Louie the Light, Willie the Nose and Morey the Mouth. The parade of celebrities here seems endless-Marlon Brando, Harry Truman, Dean Martin (portrayed both in his youth and as a tragic old man), John Wayne, Judy Garland, Robert and Ted Kennedy, Jack Benny and on and on. Born Irwin Alan Kniberg to Russian immigrants in 1927, King honed his storytelling craft on the street corners of his boyhood Brooklyn neighborhood. It was time well spent; this autobiography is a delight. Author tour.
