Rex Reed called this memoir of award-winning character actress Eileen Heckart "touching, hilarious, enthralling"-and readers everywhere will call it fabulous! Written by Heckart's son, this unusual biography tells all the tales that Heckart heard and saw in her fifty-year career in movies, theater, and TV. Oscar-, Emmy-, and Tony-winning actress Heckart, she of the foghorn voice and forward-leaning gait, worked with most of the greatest stars of the twentieth century. Wait till you read the one about Dietrich and-wait, can't tell that one here. Or the one about-nope, not that one either. Oh, well. Just Outside the Spotlight is a remarkable memoir, packed with heartwarming family photos and never-before-seen images of stars, and with unforgettable anecdotes.
