I just received this book this week from Amazon. I'm off of work this coming week and I can't wait to dive in.

What a talented family. Every single one of them are fascinating in their own right. I had no idea Griffin was Uncle Nicky on This is Us. Small world!

Fun fact, author John Irving is also in the photograph on the cover of Griffin's book. Not sure if there's a family relationship but wow, what company!

Excellent @Linda0215 I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the book. I'm waiting on my library's Libby notify list for the ebook or audiobook. They did get the hard copy book in yesterday and it has a long waitlist already. Happy Reading!

I am in the middle of reading this book now.  Aside from its focus on the Dunne family, the book gives a vivid picture of Hollywood in the 60s. There are many familiar Hollywood and other celebrity names through out.

Griffin Dunne did an excellent job playing Uncle Nicky on the wonderful TV series 'This Is Us' that ended in 2022.

I used to see Griffin knocking around the Village in the later '80s. He was a cutie.🥰
