About this product

Product Information

An intimate portrait of the award-winning TV show Inside the Actors Studio and James Lipton’s life as its founder and host, this irresistible memoir offers behind-the-scenes close-ups of hundreds of celebrated artists. Taking viewers behind the curtain at the world-renowned theatrical institution that has given America and the world two generations of legends, from Brando, Monroe, Dean, and Newman to Pacino, De Niro, Burstyn, Hoffman, and Nicholson, Inside the Actor’s Studiohas delivered more than two hundred compelling craft interviews. Receiving twelve Emmy nominations in twelve years, and seen on the Bravo Network in more than 80 million homes and around the world in 125 countries, the series owes its reputation to the unique insights it offers into the celebrated skills and often intimate revelations of its guests, under the knowledgeable prodding of its host James Lipton. Now, with Inside Inside,”Lipton hands all of us a backstage pass. You’ll witness Christopher Reeves’s courage as he confronts the obstacles of his first television appearance after his accident; glimpse Harrison Ford, aka Indiana Jones, with a serious case of stage fright; and discover how Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese came up with the historic mirror scene in Taxi Driver. You’ll laugh out loud as Lipton squares off with his Saturday Night Livedoppelgänger Will Ferrell, and then laugh even harder as Robin Williams and Mike Myers bring their rapier-sharp humor to the Insidestage. Woven throughout are the events and adventures of Lipton’s own life, including a childhood role on The Lone Ranger; acting classes with the legendary teachers Stella Adler, Harold Clurman, and Robert Lewis; and a flourishing career as a producer working with the likes of Bob Hope and the President of the United States. From his marriage to Kedakai Lipton (whose picture graces the Miss Scarlet card in the game of Clue), to celebrity-filled days and nights in New York, Paris, and London, this is the story of a life spent in the world of art and artists, and dedicated to the wide-ranging crafts of writing, acting, directing, and producing. Inside Inside”is a unique glimpse into a star-bedecked world. It’s a sincere and passionate tribute to the arts and artists we admire. It’s an invaluable primer for students of the theatrical arts. And it’s an utterly irresistible read.

  • Inside inside by James Lipton

    I am a huge fan of inside the actors studio. This book was was wonderful you could pick it up and start reading from any place in the book. It was so interesting to read about hollywood back in the day and I loved his quotes from actors and favorite moments from his years as host to inside. I was thrilled as he opened up about his younger years in france as a "Mac" or pimp as we call it. Mr. Lipton seems to be so proper and yet his book and his life have been one of someone who really knew how to take in life and live it to it's fullest. I got to really know some of his guest when he did his famous questonaire. What would you like to here God say opoun entering the pearly gates? I gave the book as a gift to my mother and she has commented on how much she got out of the book. This book is ...

  • Extremely dissapointing!

    I was very dissapointed in this book. It is a very hard read. James uses a lot of big descriptive words, phrases within phrases, and long sentences which tend to lose the reader. Also, I thought I was buying a book about things that the stars said when he interviewed them. Instead, it's all about him and his childhood. I had to skip a lot of the first two chapters, I'm hoping that later in the book there will be more about the starts' interviews, and that the language will be easier to read.

  • Inside Inside by James Lipton (2007 edition)

    First of all...I bought this book because I love the tv show! Secondly I watched the show where Dave Chappelle interviews James Lipton and I was truly blown away by the life James Lipton has led. That's where I heard about his book and I decided right then...I had to get it. I bought the 2007 edition because it was auctioned at a really great price. Hopefully the 2008 edition doesn't have too much more info added. :-) This book is a must have for any true fan of the show. I highly recommend it! Jackie D. aka jmom2djz

  • Inside by James Lipton

    I love the show and James, however the book was horrible. I never finished it. Couldn't understand half of it and did not care about the rest, I was very disappointed.
