About this listen

""A memoir as finely crafted as one of Lithgow’s performances.""
—Steve Martin

Emmy Award-winner John Lithgow presents a charming, witty, and revealing memoir about his family, his work, and his life in Drama—an intimate story of insights and inspirational reflections from one of America’s most beloved actors. Lithgow pays tribute to his father, his greatest influence, and relives his collaborations with renowned performers and directors including Mike Nichols, Bob Fosse, Liv Ullmann, Meryl Streep, and Brian De Palma. A compelling reflection on the trials, triumphs, and changes across his long career, Lithgow’s Drama illuminates the inner life of a celebrated talent, and points the way forward for anyone aspiring to greatness in their own life.

John Lithgow tells his life in hi own word by himself. A good book which is easy to listen to. I'd recommend this title to my friends ( I've already recommended it to a friend already).

John Lithgow honestly and artfully tells the tale of his and his fathers life, in a beautiful and fascinating piece of writing. His reading of his own work is further proof of his acting skill and competence, and the tale told will grip, move and provoke you.
Highly enjoyable, encouraging, informative and addictive, I’d listen to twice as much again gladly.
