Mario Adorf is Germany´s most popular actor and in addition a successful and wellknown author. For a long time, he hesitated to write an autobiography, but here it is at last: A surprising, an astonishing book full of memories about his childhood in a small village in rural Germany and about the big, exciting world of international film. It is an autobiography of a different kind though – he doesn´t necessarily recollect the biggest successes, the most remarkable meetings or official moments. Instead we get a more personal look into his life: little stories and anecdotes that are more entertaining anyway. He tells about his years spent in an orphanage, about the eerie feelings with illegal night-time butchering during WWII or about suddenly facing two American soldiers in 1944 in the middle of the woods. Later, he travels around the world, from Hollywood and Mexico to Moscow and Siberia. The reader sits, smiles and wonders about quaint stunt-catastrophies, parties with Russian cosmonauts, snappish polar bears on the set, ...
Along the way, we meet old friends: Brigitte Bardot, Sean Connery, Billy Wilder, Hardy Krüger or Alec Guinness.
A marvelous recollection by the famous actor Mario Adorf! A remarkable autobiography – entertaining, funny, grotesque, vivid and touching!
