Review:
"Robert Vaughn is a gifted storyteller. He writes breathtakingly well, capturing English prose-poetry with all the joy of an eminent Casanova. Here in this "Fortunate Life" you will find elegant bawdiness, ribald tales, plus a rowdy, outrageous recounting of the doings of the famous and the infamous in the worlds of theater, politics, and business. You will read about hair-raising escapes from the Soviet invasion and from an extortionate situation in South America. Vaughn is modest on his success and hilarious on the subject of his failures. There is an astonishing revelation on the subject of Robert Kennedy's assassination. "A Fortunate Life "is no mere 'then I...' book stuffed with fluff. It has life, love, laughter, tragedy, but above it all hilarity and is indeed inspiring." ---Malachy McCourt, author of "A Monk Swimming"
