What a wonderful memoir by Rich Little! Remember him? Rich is probably the most famous celebrity impersonator, popular in the 60s & 70s. He often hosted The Tonight Show (Carson not Fallon!) & appeared on Hollywood Squares (when the center square was Paul Linde not Whoopi or Drew!) He shared sweet memories of all the Hollywood greats he knew, impersonated & adored: the Duke, Rat Pack, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Carol Channing, so many more!🤩

MemoirsForMe P.S. Rich drew all the celebrity sketches in the book. I purchased this autographed copy from Rich‘s website. Richlittletv.com 3d
