| Abstract: | One of the most gifted popular composers of our time, Marvin Hamlisch has written an unforgettable book - outrageously funny, witty, brutally frank, and moving - about the remarkable career that brought him three Academy Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and international fame by the age of thirty-one. It also left him alone, with nowhere to go but down. The son of Viennese immigrants, he was sent to New York City's Juilliard School of Music when he was only six, but the place made him a nervous wreck, and he unfailingly threw up before every final exam. He helped a young Liza Minnelli make her first record - as a Christmas present for her mother, Judy Garland. He next made his way downtown to Broadway, where he was a rehearsal pianist (and fetched chocolate-covered doughnuts) for Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl. He then hopped a train to Hollywood. ("After all, if God had wanted us to fly, he wouldn't have given us economy class.") It was there he composed the score and title song for The Way We Were and adapted the music for The Sting and accepted three Oscars in one evening. He came back east after that to work with Michael Bennett on A Chorus Line, the now-fabled longest-running musical ever. It was followed by more successes and then by Jean, a noble failure, and Smile, an ignoble one. "Something had gone terribly wrong. . . . What followed were very tough years for me, years without any writing |
