Review:

"a gracious, endearing book" --The New York Times

"I always knew Gene Wilder was a remarkable person, but I didn't realize how remarkable until I read this brave, riveting book." --Charles Grodin, actor

..".an honest, affecting look at his life. Strong, tender and revealing" --Kirkus

"A wonderful addition to the entertainment memoir Gene pool." --Library Journal

"A witty memoir. It's also a reflective and well-written meditation on the life of someone who has more on his mind than the next big part or belly laugh." --Los Angeles Times

"It's impossible to not feel deep affection for Gene Wilder." --Entertainment Weekly

"Come for inside dish on his funniest movies, stay for touching stories about Mel Brooks, Gilda Radner and others. A classy memoir." --Newsweek

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

Gene Wilder

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Gene Wilder was one of the great comic actors who defined the 1970's and 1980's in movies. From his early work with Woody Allen to the rich group of movies he made with Mel Brooks 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. In this book, Wilder talks about everything from his experiences in psychoanalysis to why he got into acting (and later comedy-his first goal was to be a Shakespearean actor) to how a Midwestern childhood with a sick mother changed him. He writes about the creative process on stage and on screen, and divulges moments from life on the sets of the some of the most iconic movies of our time. He also opens up about his love affairs and marriages, including his marriage to comedian Gilda Radner. But the core of Kiss Me Like A Stranger is an actor's search for truth and a thoughtful analysis of why the choices he made-some of them so serendipitous they were practically accidental-changed the course of his life. Although not an autobiography in the usual sense, in this personal book, actor Gene Wilder selects the most personal events in his life--ones that have led him to an understanding of the art of acting, and of how to give and receive the love of a woman.
