Mel Brooks
À propos de cet audio
At 95, the legendary Mel Brooks continues to set the standard for comedy across television, film, and the stage. Now, for the first time, this EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner shares his story in his own words.
“Laugh-out-loud hilarious and always fascinating, from the great Mel Brooks. What else do you expect from the man who knew Jesus and dated Joan of Arc?” (Billy Crystal)
For anyone who loves American comedy, the long wait is over. Here are the never-before-told, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and remembrances from a master storyteller, filmmaker, and creator of all things funny.
All About Me! charts Mel Brooks’ meteoric rise from a Depression-era kid in Brooklyn to the recipient of the National Medal of Arts. Whether serving in the United States Army in World War II, or during his burgeoning career as a teenage comedian in the Catskills, Mel was always mining his experiences for material, always looking for the perfect joke. His iconic career began with Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows, where he was part of the greatest writers’ room in history, which included Carl Reiner, Neil Simon, and Larry Gelbart. After co-creating both the mega-hit 2000 Year Old Man comedy albums and the classic television series Get Smart, Brooks’ stellar film career took off. He would go on to write, direct, and star in The Producers, The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, and Spaceballs, as well as produce groundbreaking and eclectic films including The Elephant Man, The Fly, and My Favorite Year. Brooks then went on to conquer Broadway with his record-breaking, Tony-winning musical, The Producers.
All About Me! offers fans insight into the inspiration behind the ideas for his outstanding collection of boundary-breaking work, and offers details about the many close friendships and collaborations Brooks had, including those with Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Gene Wilder, Madeleine Kahn, Alfred Hitchcock, and the great love of his life, Anne Bancroft.
Filled with tales of struggle, achievement, and camaraderie, listeners will gain a more personal and deeper understanding of the incredible body of work behind one of the most accomplished and beloved entertainers in history.

Histoire
In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. The result is The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man—revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in places, always complex and profound.

Henry Winkler, launched into prominence as “The Fonz” in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“This book has everything you would ever want Mel Brooks to tell you, and at 480 pages it is still not enough! Pure joy.” (Judd Apatow)
“If you are holding the great Mel Brooks’ memoir and you are wasting time reading this blurb, you’re an idiot.” (Conan O’Brien)
“There are people who have great stories and there are people that tell great stories. Mel is that precious combination of a person with amazing stories who happens to be one of the greatest storytellers of all time. Lucky for him? Lucky for us!” (Sarah Silverman)
“All About Me! isn’t a typical comedy memoir, and why would it be? Mel is a singular talent, still witty, still sharp, and still zinging us after all these years. These stories thread a hilarious narrative that is also profound and touching. Reading this, you’ll learn very quickly why Mel Brooks is a king of comedy.” (Wanda Sykes)
“Not since the Bible have I read anything so powerful and poignant. And to boot - it’s a lot funnier!” (M. Brooks)

I thank you sir, it was amazing! - I nearly signed my name haha

Quite Nice
This was a nice series of stories about a comedy legend.
If you love the work of Mel Brooks and you like the story telling of his generation, this will be a great audiobook to listen to.
There are many times though that stories sort of abruptly stop or had the "you just had to be there" effect. Sometimes too, there are jokes repeated in chapters or even sometimes repeated right after itself.
While this book isn't likely to win any awards, it was nice to hear Mel talk about his life and achievements.
I do hope though that nobody takes working as the way to get past grief and takes it instead as to move forward doing what you love.

History of Mel Brooks Part 1
I certainly enjoyed this book. I have always enjoyed his movies, and the background of how they got made the way they did was very interesting.
The only thing about the book that I thought was a bit off, was that everyone he writes about was "the Best" ever. I find it hard to believe that he went through the career he did in Hollywood and never met someone who wasn't "the Best" ever.

Its about his show business life once he made it!!
Its better than you think! Its very personal till he made it in show business after the Sid Caesar show. It switches to his shows and movies and his personal life evaporates off the pages. It is very entertaining with lots of name drops and how movies got made etc. He mentions his first wife once and his first 3 kids twice. Ann Bancroft is sprinkled about and Max his son with her is held up on a pedestal of greatness. Everyone mentioned is "very talented" or "wonderful" or "great" etc. Did he dislike anyone? Oh wait at the end he did say how he hated GW Bush.
Overall entertaining as I enjoy the movies and how they were made and why everything happened.
