There I Go Again
There I Go Again: How I Came to Be Mr. Feeny, John Adams, Dr. Craig, KITT, and Many Others | William Daniels
12 posts | 7 read | 17 to read
There I Go Again is a celebrity memoir like no other, revealing the life of a man whose acting career has been so rich that millions of Americans know his face even while they might not recognize his name. William Daniels is an enigmaa rare chameleon who has enjoyed massive success both in Hollywood and on Broadway and been embraced by fans of successive generations. Few of his peers inspire the fervor with which buffs celebrate his most iconic roles, among them George Feeny in Boy Meets World, KITT in Knight Rider, Dr. Mark Craig in St. Elsewhere, and John Adams in the play and film 1776. Daniels guides readers through some of Hollywoods most cherished productions, offering recollections of entertainment legends including Lauren Bacall, Warren Beatty, Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Mike Nichols, Jason Robards, Barbra Streisand, and many more. Looking back on his seventy-five-plus-year career, Daniels realizes that although he never had the courage to say no to being an actor, he backed into stardom. With his wife, actress Bonnie Bartlett, by his side, he came to realize that he wound up exactly where he was supposed to be: on the screen and stage.

This was OK. I finished listening to it while doing stuff around the house today. William Daniels has an interesting story, but I wish he had narrated it. First book finished for #slumpathon and #JoyousJanuary.

The man we all know as Mr. Feeny takes us on the journey of his childhood and how he entered the realm of acting and his most famous roles. While I did want to skip ahead to the chapter about Boy Meets World, I read from the beginning as to have an understanding of his history with the theater and acting.

#TBRtemptation post 2! #BEA17 edition! He signed my copy ????????! Daniels' memoir is singular in its material. He's experienced massive success on Broadway & in Hollywood with multiple generations. His career spans 75 years, including "Boy Meets World", "Knight Rider", "St. Elsewhere", & "John Adams". His friends are numerous, including Kirk Douglass, Marilyn Monroe, & Barbara Streisand. An amazing story! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

Lynnsoprano Ooh! I saw him on Broadway in 1776 in a year I won't mention (probably before you were born😂). He just commanded the stage. Must. Read. Soon. 7y
CouronneDhiver I wondered what kind of book he'd written... cool! 7y
Suet624 St Elsewhere was my favorite show during its run. 7y

I'm a child of the 80s and a teenager of the 90s, so William Daniels is Mr. Feeny & KITT to me.

I loved his memoir! I found his story- which he wrote in longhand, to be transcribed for print - engaging, and I feel I learned a lot about the actor behind the "Hey, aren't you that guy?" face.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the review copy.

Nicely written memoir from Mr. Feen... I mean William Daniels that chronicles his history as an actor. I only knew him from Boy Meets World but I feel like this book really showcases how talented he really is (and how much his real life mentality is just like that of Mr. Feeny).
