About This Item
Hardcover Cloth 235 pages. Condition Fine Dust Jacket Very Good. Presumed First edition 1987. Lovely teal boards and gilt embossing shows off this Clean, tight, square copy with no marks, highlights or bookplates. Book Well kept and carefully stored in unread condition. No shelf wear. An unclipped dust jacket smooth, clean and brilliant with slight shelf wear - a few wrinkles and chips. Not an ex-library, book club or remainder copy.
The noted actor traces his life from his Tidewater Virginia beginnings and goes behind the scenes of his stage plays and movies with intimate stories of his adventures with Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Katharine Hepburn, Hedda Hopper, Marilyn Monroe, David O. Selznick and Jennifer Jones and others.
To have made your film debut in a major role in Citizen Kane is no small thing. To originate the role of C.K. Dexter Haven in the stage version of Philadelphia Story is splendid. To write about all of it without making yourself sound like an egocentric jerk? That's what Joseph Cotten does here.

About River House Books
I found hundreds of nice dust jackets with no books to cover. Need one for your library? Have a look at that category!
Have some dust jackets to sell? Drop me a line!
I ship domestically in the US using the Post Office and internationally using consolidation services. Books are always wrapped then packed in cardboard boxes with padding to protect the contents. International shipments are double boxed with shipping paperwork attached to the outside of the box using a special envelope. And a complete duplicate of all the paperwork packed inside the outer box in case the attached set wanders off.
Previous international shipments to Austria, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Spain, Sweden, UK --> Help me fill in my international bingo card!
