This captivating and inspiring autobiography tells the story of a Hollywood power couple that dominated the screen and championed civil rights issues for decades.

Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee: legendary stars of the American stage, television, and film, a beloved and revered couple cherished not just for their acting artistry but also for their lifelong commitment to civil rights, family values, and the black community. Now they look back on a half- century of their personal and political struggles to maintain a healthy marriage and to create the record of distinguished accomplishment that earned each a Presidential Medal for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts.

With Ossie and Ruby overflows with consummate storytelling skill developed by decades in the spotlight. From their early years as struggling actors in Harlem's black theater to Broadway and Hollywood stardom, they regale the reader with colorful, entertaining tales of the places they've been and the people they've met. But their charming humor is leavened with a more serious side, as they share their experiences of keeping a family together in a world where scandal and divorce is the rule, and of being artists and political activists in an era of intense racial ferment. Born into the struggle, their characters were shaped by the dynamic collisions of life, politics, and art; and from those experiences, they achieved some sense of their worth as married people, friends, and lovers. Warm, positive, and compelling, this is a book that will surprise and challenge readers everywhere -- black and white, male and female, young and old. Lifting the veil of public image, media hype, and mystique, Ossie and Ruby speak of the real-life dilemmas and rewards of their lifelong search for purpose and value.

"They both keep the material fresh, which could be hard to do when talking about one's own life. This is an immensely captivating dual memoir and a real audio treasure, especially poignant since Davis has since passed away. The listener comes away with a true sense of the essence of these lives, the things that were and are important to them, and their accomplishments." -- AudioFile Magazine

" . . . this is a compelling read, effectively evoking the challenges and rewards that have attended the authors' roles as black leaders . . . " -- Publishers Weekly, October 1998

"By turns sassy and sage . . . full of razor-sharp observations on who business, politics, race and love." -- Ebony

"Consistently lively, witty and insightful." -- USA Today©1998 Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. All rights reserved.; (P)2006 Time Warner AudioBooks Biografías y Memorias Entretenimiento y Celebridades Divertido

This was a visit to my grandparents house hearing a story I didn’t even have to ask to hear. I loved every second!

There is so much for young and old to learn from "With Ossie and Ruby" about personal character, history, race relations, marriage, and the entertainment industry. Listening was thoroughly delightful because of the extraordinary vocal performances of Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee telling their own life stories.

Enjoyable Listening and Learning

As I was reading my hardback version, I felt it would be great if I could hear the words via Ossie and Ruby.
Both are keepers and highly recommended.

This was like getting to know on a deeper level due to the generation the grandfathers I never met or grandmothers that never talked. Mr Ossie and Mrs. Ruby voices were like a warm hug as I listen them on my way to work, on my lunch break and driving home from work. I gave me something to look forward to like upcoming trip to a place you’ve been. I love them and didn’t get see them in a play however introduced to them via television and the movies. I’m trying to find everything I can on them....another sweet piece of Our history.

If I could have met you and had a cup of coffee together.

This is a rare treat and spans from the Depression to a period when Spike Lee directed the two of them in films. It is a treasure and a pleasure to hear the real voices of these great actors.

I have always admired these two people and was glad to find something from them on Audible.One never hears anything about them in the media and you kind of have to hunt down anything about them.I liked how both of them told their story together.I did get a little lost during the part about Ruby's first miscarriage,but chalked it up to the times of that era.My favorite part was when they spoke of marriage and staying together for a long time.Truly words to live by,with practice!

Nice touch...

They seriously understood and grew into their roles as husband and wife as well as actress and actor, parents and activists !

They were a committed couple in stage and life from the very beginning ‼️
