An Actor and a Gentleman ReviewThis was an enjoyable book from start to finish. I have watched Mr. Gossett work his magic in movies and television shows over the years and loved all of his work. I had no idea what a wonderful life he has enjoyed to this moment. He has had his share of ups and downs but is still standing strong. You will be touched when you read of his experiences with racism but through his good upbringing, he was able to handle it with dignity and tact.
I thank him for sharing his life story and recommend it highly. He is truly an inspiration to all.
Go Lakers!!!!!
An Actor and a Gentleman OverviewAward-winning African American actor Lou Gossett Jr. takes an unvarnished look at the daunting challenges and incredible triumphs of his fifty-five year career
Louis Gossett Jr. is one of the most respected African American stage and screen actors, who rose to fame with his Emmy-winning role in the television miniseries Roots and Oscar-winning performance in An Officer and a Gentleman. Now he tells the story of his fifty-plus years in the entertainment world—from his early success on the New York stage appearing with Ruby Dee and Sidney Poitier in A Raisin in the Sun, through his long Hollywood career working alongside countless stars, including Marilyn Monroe and Dennis Quaid. He writes frankly of his struggle to get leading roles and fair pay as a black man in Hollywood, his problems with drugs and alcohol that took years to overcome, and his current work to eradicate racism and violence and give our children a better future.
Includes revealing stories and reminiscences involving famous performers, including Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, Shirley Booth, Sammy Davis Jr., Steve McQueen, Richard Gere, Maggie Smith, Halle Berry, and Gena Rowlands
Spans half a century of American theater and film history, people, and performances
Highlights the problem of racism in Hollywood and the challenges faced by African American actors from the 1950s and 1960s onward

An Actor and a Gentleman penetrates the celebrity glitz and glamour to offer an honest, heartfelt portrayal of the African American experience both in Hollywood and the New York theater world, as told by one of the nation's most enduring and highly esteemed actors.
