BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME - frank memoir from Burt Reynolds

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME

Burt Reynolds

and John Winokur

Scandalous, sentimental, frank, and sincere...

the ultimate inside account of a film and television icon

In his new memoir But Enough About Me, legendary film actor and Hollywood superstar Burt Reynolds recalls the people who shaped his life and career during six decades of acting.

Burt’s tales include encounters with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Sally Field and many more. He also talks candidly about his marriage and divorce to Loni Anderson.

“But Enough About Me is about the people who’ve shaped my life, for better or worse. I pay homage to those I love and respect, acknowledge those who’ve stayed loyal, call out the assholes I can’t forgive, and try to make amends for being an asshole myself on too many occasions” says Burt.

With chapters on his early childhood, how he discovered acting, played poker with Frank Sinatra, received directing advice from Orson Welles, his golden years in Hollywood, his comeback in the late 1990s, and how his life and art led him to found the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre, But Enough About Me is a gripping and eye-opening account of the life of one of cinema's true greats.

But Enough About Me sees Burt Reynolds more introspective and revelatory than ever before and his memoir is a must read for anyone interested in film history - and in the man himself.
