This is the story of William Shatner's half-century career and private life. The audio will take readers from the streets of Montreal to regional theatre. It will describe his early TV work and movies, including stories from three television series: T.J. Hooker, Rescue 911, and Boston Legal, as well as his work on Third Rock from the Sun, for which he won his first Emmy for playing "the Big Giant Head." And of course, it will include the story of Star Trek; how it came about and how it affected him-and fans-concluding with the story of a taxi driver who told Shatner he'd been a prisoner in Vietnam and that pretending they were the Star Trek crew kept him and his fellow inmates sane. After almost 60 years, William Shatner has become one of our most beloved entertainers. For the first time, William Shatner shares with listeners the remarkable, full story of his life.
Reviews
...
William Shatner is one great storyteller! There's no question in anyone's mind (especially his) that he's is a star in every part of show business. His TV work includes "Star Trek," "T.J. Hooker," "Rescue 911," "Priceline.com," and "Boston Legal." He's made seven STAR TREK films and acted in or directed many others. And he's been active in theater and music. This audio presentation of his memoir is as diverse as the man himself. His narration is delivered in his familiar style, full of sincerity (whether real or acted), rich humor, drama, and pathos. One cannot help but laugh when he laughs and feel empathy when he relates sad episodes in his life. Every word in this audio presentation provides the listener with a superlative William Shatner moment. M.R.E. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
