Sunday Nights at Seven [J0179]

1990 - HCDJ Nice clean condition. The unfinished memoir of the late comedian is interwoven with reminiscences by his daughter in an anecdotal biography of the golden age of television and of the celebrities of the era.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I guess my 2 favorite comedians are Dave Chappelle and Jack Benny, so this was a treat to read about Benny's career in his own words. Also included are Benny's home life as told by his daughter, Joan, a coauthor of this biography."; "I found this very entertaining and, unlike other reviewers, enjoyed the parts written by Joan even more than those written by her father. His were very detailed stories about radio and TV show, his writers, the scripts, the gags, the guest stars, the sound effects. All interesting stuff, but Joan wrote about the family, their home, and their relationships, which made the book more well-rounded than had it been just Jack's reminiscences."; "Interesting look at one of the first families of mid-century American show biz. There could have been more about Jack - behind the scenes of the radio and TV shows in particular - and less about Joan. Also, the very detailed descriptions of the interiors of houses and rooms - impressive or minutiae?"
