Scandalous, sentimental, frank, and sincere - the ultimate inside account of a television and film icon. Burt Reynolds has been a Hollywood leading man for six decades, known for his legendary performances, sex-symbol status, and storied Hollywood romances. In his long career of stardom, during which he was number one at the box office for five years in a row, Reynolds has seen it all. But Enough About Me will tell his story through the people he’s encountered on his amazing journey.

Poignant
Revisado: 09-27-18
I began listening to this just after Reynolds' death. He must have been about 78 or 79 years-old when he recorded the audiobook and his voice was a little weak and quiet. I had to listen to it with the volume all the way up (I alternated between listening on an Echo Dot and a Kindle Fire) and at 1.15 speed to improve the quality. It was both painful and poignant as he teared up several times throughout the reading. He told his life story through the people that he met along the way and it gave him the opportunity to pay tribute to those he loved and to call the others sons of bitches as needed. Unlike Rex Harrison in his autobiography, Burt didn't ruin any of his films for me. He also was never particularly mean-spirited, even about ex-wife, Loni Anderson. Basically, he was exactly who I thought he was all the way to the end.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 101
Who would ever guess that the beloved legend of Santa Claus involves a seldom-told tale of faith and friendship between two men -- one white and one black? Long ago, Santa Claus had an African partner named Pete and together they brought the spirit of Christmas to America's first settlers. These two forever changed the way families celebrate the holiday. But through the years, Pete's contribution was forgotten.

A Signature Performance: Tim Curry rescues Charles Dickens from the jaws of Disney with his one-of-a-kind performance of the treasured classic. Our listeners loved this version so much that it inspired our whole line of Signature Classics.

Holiday Listening
Revisado: 12-08-13
Would you listen to A Christmas Carol: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry again? Why?
I will listen to this every Christmas from now on! It is a wonderful performance that pulls together the dozen or so movie versions I have seen over the years. And it's a great accompaniment for travel to Christmas parties and family gatherings!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Tim Curry does a wonderful job breathing life into and giving unique voice to each and every character in the story but, of course, Scrooge is the star!
What does Tim Curry bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
This is truly a performance rather than a straight narration. His presentation really brings the book to life.
