Paul Lynde: A Biography

His Life, His Love(s) and His Laughter

De: Cathy Rudolph

Narrado por: Susan Scher

This book will let you into the heart and soul of Paul Lynde. Best remembered for outrageous jokes on Hollywood Squares, as Uncle Arthur from Bewitched, and as the frantic father in Bye Bye Birdie, Paul was never satisfied with his career - or his personal life. But even as he suffered through some of the cruelest of times, Paul continued to make us forget our troubles and was forever gracious to his fans. This is the book those fans have been waiting for. Though he was one of the most original, hilarious, and private actor-comedians of all time, author Cathy Rudolph, his trusted friend, reveals her adventures with Paul - along with his turbulent life story. Here for the first time are interviews with his relatives and personal notes. Also included are memories from his friends and peers including Cloris Leachman, Chita Rivera, Florence Henderson, Kaye Ballard, Peter Marshall, Les Roberts, Betty White, and many more.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I've been saying for 40 years that Paul Lynde could deliver a punchline better than any other comedian. I look forward to having the book on my library shelf." (Les Roberts, novelist, first producer, and head writer of the original Hollywood Squares)

Really fun listen!!!

What a fun story. Heartfelt. Very personal and honest biography. Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves old Hollywood stories and figures

Time well spent

I didn't know much about Paul, but he has always been part of my life via TV. While I loved this book and feel I know more about him, it ended, and I still feel as if I do not know who he was. There are many great stories here that offer a glimpse into his life but left me wanting to know more about him. It is clear he was a complex man who battled many demons.

The recording/editing was pretty choppy and weird

The recording/editing was pretty choppy and weird for the first hour or so. The narration suffered because of this.

The narrator has Lynde's voice down pat.

The story seemed rushed (maybe because of the editing) and not well researched. I got to the part where Paul died and it was like "...and then he died and had a funeral. The End."

A book worth Reading...

A thoughtful, well written book about a very funny man, whose life wasn't always so funny. Paul will forever be Uncle Arthur to so many of us. This book helps us understand the man behind the jokes. This author has helped his fans know Paul more intimately and I would like to believe that Paul would've been very happy with this book.

Okay Bio, needs facts checking

Paul was not in Nutty Professor but in Son of Flubber sequel to Abs Minded Professor. Montgomery died in 1995 not 1955.
