Summary
An Improvised Life by Alan Arkin is a memoir that delves into the life of the acclaimed actor, offering insights into his creative process, personal philosophy, and the experiences that shaped his life and career. Arkin reflects on the art of improvisation, both in acting and in life, sharing wisdom gained from decades in the entertainment industry.
Alan Arkin knew he was going to be an actor from the age of five: "Every film I saw, every play, every piece of music fed an unquenchable need to turn myself into something other than what I was." An Improvised Life is the Oscar winner's wise and unpretentious recollection of the process--artistic and personal--of becoming an actor, and a revealing look into the creative mind of one of the best practitioners on stage or screen.
