內容簡介
“I have been incredibly fortunate over the course of mycareer to have been associated with some extraordinary dramatic andmusical productions, and also some rather spectacular disasters.Looking back, I can find gifts and life lessons in everyone.”The legendary Patti LuPone is one of the theatre’s most belovedleading ladies. Now she lays it all bare, sharing the intimatestory of her life both onstage and off--through the dizzying highsand darkest lows--with the humor and outspokenness that have becomeher trademarks.With nearly 100 photographs, including an 8-page four-color insert,and illuminating details about the life of a working actor, frominspired costars and demanding directors to her distinctperspective on how she developed and honed her Tony Award–winningperformances, Patti LuPone: A Memoir is as inspirational asit is entertaining. And though the title might say “a memoir,” thisis ultimately a love letter to the theatre by a unique Americanartist.Raised on Long Island’s North Shore, Patti discovered her callingat the age of four and knew that she was destined for the stage. Aprodigiously gifted child, she was one of only 36 young actorschosen for the inaugural class of The Juilliard School’s DramaDivision, where she fought near-constant criticism from herinstructors, and here describes those early years with disarmingfrankness.From the heady days of her early twenties—crisscrossing the countryas a founding member of the classical repertory theatre ensemble,The Acting Company--to her early success on Broadway, her four-yearstint as Libby Thacher on the television series Life GoesOn, her loving marriage to Matt Johnston, and much, much more,Patti chronicles her professional and personal life with inimitablecandor and wit.With its insightful retrospective of her career-defining turns,both on Broadway and abroad, in Evita, LesMisérables, Anything Goes, Sunset Boulevard, SweeneyTodd, and Gypsy, Patti LuPone: A Memoir revealsthe artist’s deeply felt passion for music and the theatre and is,in the end, the compelling and quintessential tale of anexceptional life well lived.
