Moon's a BalloonBring on the Empty Horse

very funny, really well written and a wonderful recountment of early Hollywood, you'll laugh out loud
This is an enthralling autobiography:
from the FIRST paragraph:
"Nessie, when I first saw her, was seventeen years old, honey-blonde, pretty rather than beautiful, the owner of a voluptuous but somehow innocent body and a pair of legs that went on forever. She was a Piccadilly whore."
One of Niven's most famous lines, illustrating just how he could appeal to an audience was delivered when he was presenting the Oscars in 1974 and a naked man ran across the stage behind him, "Isn't it fascinating to think, that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life, is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings!"Followup Messages:
