Description

Neil Simon (au). In this 2nd volume of his memoires, playwright Neil Simon begins immediately following the death of his wife, Joan. From that moment of unbearable sadness, Simon moved quickly to work on another play to keep himself busy & his mind off his loss. The work was therapeutic, & he met an actress who had a role in his play, Marsha Mason. Almost immediately a bond developed, which led to marriage. When Mason’s career required that she be in Hollywood, Simon & his two daughters from his first marriage moved there as well. He immersed himself in his work & created: “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” “Biloxi Blues,” “Broadway Bound,” & “Lost in Yonkers.” “A revealing look at an artist in crisis but still able & willing to laugh at every misstep he takes.” B&W photos.
