Bitter yesterdays of E.G. Robinson
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is one of the best autographies by actors. Robinson's life was not an easy one. He was of a Jew of Roumanian origin and his family came to U.S. in order to find a better life. E.G. became both rich and famous, but he was not a happy man. His marriage was very difficult and he also suffered during the times of MacCarthyism. He was a great patriot, but was a target for accusations of communist sympathies. He had a reason to be bitter. All this he describes with great self-knowledge. He probably made the greatest mistakes with his son, who had all that money can buy, but did not have father who is present when needed. However, he was a very demanding father who thought that this leads to good results. It is sad to know that these mistakes will continue during the present hectic times. E.G. loved art, especially impressionistic modern art, and his collection was world-famous. E.G. is not rude to actors he was working with, but was a difficult and challenging to producers, directors and writers. One also wonders, why an intelligent man must go with the required model for the famous actors and must live expensively and show off his money. Very good reading.
