Exclusive: George Kennedy Talks About Life and His New Memoir "Trust Me"

Trust Me: a Memoir by George Kennedy (October 2011, Applause Books) Ordering info: http://www.halleonardbooks.com/produc... "These are memoirs of a kid born in New York City in 1925. His dad, George Senior, was a pianist, composer, and orchestra leader at Proctor's Vaudeville Theatre, and his mother, Helen, played in a classic dance troupe. Hanky-panky ensued. They married, and I soon was the result... I write like I talk. A long time ago I tried making 'talking and telling the truth' one and the same. That isn't just difficult; it means painfully reviewing things you've been led to believe since you were a child. That's very hard to do. Like many, I have marched along adhering to conventions (sex, color, church, party, gang) without examination. There's a wonderful, protective 'togetherness' in that anonymity. You obey or are damned, less joined together than stuck together. You become an echo rather than a voice. This book is about what happens when you stop fearing and think. I like writing, but warmed-over BS is not on the menu. You are the most important thing in life. Every phrase in the book -- awkward or not -- is how I think and question everything. I wrote every word as if we were sitting together. I want you to think, too..." -- George Kennedy, from the preface
