Summary

In "Making Life Worthwhile", Douglas Fairbanks, the original 'King of Hollywood' sets down his thoughts on life and making the best of every situation that arises to confront us.

Many labels come to mind when we hear the name Douglas Fairbanks: swashbuckler, athlete, world traveler, actor, producer, director...but probably not author. This is somewhat puzzling considering the volume of his published writings far exceed the number of films he made during his career.
Available since: 01/08/2019.

    Saturday Night Live alum Kevin Nealon details his hilarious and sentimental journey to fatherhood in Yes, You’re Pregnant, But What About Me? 
     
    At fifty-three, Kevin Nealon thought he had it all: a massive international celebrity with legions of loyal fans; a fabulous modeling career; hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank; and the most recognizable face on the planet. Nealon had accomplished the impossible: a thirty-year career in show business with only limited trips to rehab. But just like every other celebrity, he felt that was not enough. The perpetually insatiable Nealon wanted more, and for him "more" meant a little addition that drooled, burped, and pooped (no, not a Pomeranian). 
     
    Now, in his first-ever book, Nealon tells the outrageous story of how he battled through aching joints, Milano cookie cravings, and a rapidly receding hairline to become a first-time dad at an age when most fathers are packing their kids off to college. Offering hysterical commentary about his fickle, often hormonal, road to belated and bloated fatherhood, Nealon guides you through the delivery room and beyond, discussing how his past, his wife, and his neuroses all converged in a montage of side-splitting insecurities during the months leading up to the birth of his son. 
     
    Laugh-out-loud funny and remarkably poignant, Nealon's Yes, You’re Pregnant, But What About Me? offers an entertaining perspective and wealth of sarcasm about fatherhood that is as fresh as it is universal, always reminding you that half the fun of being a parent is getting there.
