description: Legendary comedian, dancer, actor, and musician of the golden age of Hollywood, Jackie Oakie spent six decades amidst the glamour and chaos of film and stage sets. In his usual hilarious and tender fashion, Jack recalls the many characters and adventures he encountered in his journey through Hollywood. He takes the reader backstage with a multitude of previously unpublished photographs that portray a Hollywood most of us never knew. Inventor of the now much-imitated "double-take", Jack was once the number one comedian and scene stealer in the industry, and distills years of professional wisdom into one handsome volume. This is a must-read for students of the cinema and theatre, or for those just looking for a good laugh! More than 300 photographs.
