"You might not think of eulogies as the same thing as love stories, but here....they most certainly are. This is an extraordinary collection of 64 goodbyes to the famous from the (mostly) famous."
The Boston Globe
"How do you make good, in words, on the life of another human being? The real challenge of the task is evident on every page....A fascinating collection of memorial remarks about 64 well-known figures." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The lives of the world’s greatest contributors to arts, politics, sports, and letters are celebrated with wit, humor, and reverence by their equally famous friends, relatives, and peers.
Here are fifty eulogies, fond remembrances of the twentieth century’s best and brightest:
World Pioneers: Martin Luther King Jr. honored by Robert Kennedy, Mahatma Gandhi by Jawaharlal Nehru
Movie Stars: Joan Crawford remembered by director George Cukor, Orson Welles by Charlton Heston, Bette Davis, Judy Garland, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe.
Media Titans: Katharine Graham celebrated by Ben Bradlee, Edward R.Murrow by Charles Kuralt
Entertainers: John Belushi by Dan Aykroyd, Bob Hope by Larry Gelbart
Composers and Singers: Jerry Garcia by Robert Hunter, Leonard Bernstein by Ned Rorem
Athletes: Mickey Mantle by Bob Costas, Arthur Ashe by Douglas Wilder
In these moving and personal tributes, we see the true personalities of these fifty remarkable people, shadings of character usually hidden from the spotlight.
