Absolutely loved this book. Got to see the career of Marie Wallace develop from her stage performances on off-off Broadway, off-Broadway, Broadway and dinner and regional theater, along with all the actors and auditoriums she performed with and in. I don't think there was one chapter that I did not find fascinating as New York in the 1950s and 60s has always held a fascination for me. And with this book, I was able to submerge myself into that time period along with the author.

If you are in the least bit interested in acting, New York, actors, plays and various playwrights, this book is for you :)
