Gene Wilder is one of the great comic actors who defined film comedy in the 1970's and 1980's. From the three classics he made with Mel Brooks, to his early work with Woody Allen, to his partnership on screen with Richard Pryor, Wilder's performances are still discussed and celebrated today. KISS ME LIKE A STRANGER is an intimate glimpse of the man behind the image on the screen. Although not an autobiography in the usual sense, and not another celebrity "tell all," Wilder has selected the most personal events in his life that led him to an understanding of the art of acting, and - more important - to an understanding of how to give and receive the love of a woman. He writes about the creative process on stage and screen and divulges moments from life on the sets of some of the funniest and most iconic movies of our time. He talks candidly about his failures in love, and about the overwhelming experience of marrying Gilda Radner. This book reveals a side of one of America's most popular actors never before written about.

Review:
"Pure Gene Wilder! Uproarishly funny and at times very moving. It made me want to go out and see every Gene Wilder movie again." -- Mel Brooks "I always knew Gene Wilder was a remarkable person, but I didn't know how remarkable until I read this brave, riveting book." -- Charles Grodin "Gene Wilder is not just a uniquely talented and lovable performer, he's a gifted memoirist with a great story to tell and a writerly commitment to emotional truth. The real delight lies in the prose -- tight, funny, fast as the breeze -- and insights about accident and fate that lodge in your mind long after the smile has left your lips." -- Letty Cottin Pogrebin, author of "Three Daughters" "A book to cherish. Here is the real Gene...irrepressibly funny, wise, warmhearted, and honest. In sharing with us the most intimate details of his extraordinary life on screen and off, Gene shows all if us how to embrace the unexpected, pursue our passion, and seize joy every day. Give this book to someone you want to kiss." -- Pat Collins, film critic
From the Back Cover:

"Gene Wilder's frank, charming memoir, KISS ME LIKE A STRANGER, is refreshingly free from the two major sins of show-biz autobiographies: self-aggrandizement and score-settling."--Los Angeles Times

In this unusually personal book from the beloved star of many beloved and classic film comedies--from The Producers to Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory--Gene Wilder writes about a side of his life the public hasn't seen on the screen. Wilder talks about everything from his experiences in psychoanalysis to why he got into acting to the funny, wonderful movies he made with Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Richard Pryor, and many others. He writes candidly about the role of women in his life, about the overwhelming experience of marrying comedienne Gilda Radner, and about what ultimately had to happen for him to find true love. KISS ME LIKE A STRANGER is one actor's life in his own words.

"Uproarishly funny and at times very moving. It made me want to go out and see every Gene Wilder movie again."--Mel Brooks

"an intimate, unusual memoir...His book candidly explores his own faults and feelings, as well as those of the people he's loved and lost."--Publishers Weekly
