- Summary
- "He is one of Hollywood's hardest-working actors and most outrageous personalities. His career has run the gamut from B movies to Z movies to becoming an Oscar nominee and has included some of the most indelible performances in modern cinema. He has worked with practically every iconic actor and director in the last fifty years - and he's not afraid to say what he thinks about all of them." "Now Bruce Dern tells all in Things I've Said, but Probably Shouldn't Have. In this memoir, he looks back over his life and career, including his unforgettable work in Silent Running, Family Plot, Coming Home, Monster, and other films. He holds nothing back as he writes about working with Lee Strasberg, Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, John Frankenheimer, Claude Chabrol, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman, Bob Dylan, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Jane Fonda, John Wayne, and many more. He reveals why he wasn't interested in potentially career-making roles in The Godfather and Gandhi, and why, after he was already famous, he agreed to star in The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant, the second best two-headed transplant movie of 1971." "You'll also find out why he became estranged from his prestigious family over a typo in the New York Times and learn about his experiences as father and mentor to actress Laura Dern. Along the way, he gives key insights into how placing artistic challenge over career development has kept one of Hollywood's greatest actors from also being one of its most rich and famous. He also talks about the single best moment he's ever had in a movie in his career - and why he would not make that film today."--BOOK JACKET.
