Description: "Mike Myers thinks he was 'a genius', while John Cleese regards him as 'a true cultural icon'. He was an architect of British comedy, paving the way for Monty Python, and then became a major Hollywood star, forever remembered as Igor in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein. A writer, director, performer and true pioneer of his art, he died aged only 48. His name was Marty Feldman, and here, at last, is the first ever biography."--from cover, p. [2]
