Grant","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe star of the cult classic \u003ci\u003eWithnail and I\u003c\/i\u003e offers “a refreshing combination of comedy, confession, and coruscation” in this memoir of the movie business (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Richard E. Grant’s acting career has included memorable roles in some of Hollywood’s most critically acclaimed films, including Robert Altman’s \u003ci\u003eGosford Park\u003c\/i\u003e and Francis Ford Coppola’s \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e. But he attributes his success to his first film role, starring as a flamboyantly pathetic Shakespearean in the underground hit \u003ci\u003eWithnail and I\u003c\/i\u003e. As Grant explains, “I had no notion that, almost without exception, \u003ci\u003eevery\u003c\/i\u003e film offered since would be the result of playing an alcoholic out-of-work actor.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWith Nails\u003c\/i\u003e, Grant shares his long, maddening, and immensely rewarding journey through the world of film. From the hell of making \u003ci\u003eHudson Hawk\u003c\/i\u003e to befriending Steve Martin on the set of \u003ci\u003eL.A. Story\u003c\/i\u003e; and from eating spaghetti with the Coppolas, to window-shopping with Sharon Stone, and working with and learning from the best actors and directors in the business, Grant’s unvarnished memoir “is a biting and wonderfully funny look at the movie business by an actor who is as clear-eyed and observant about himself as he is about the craziness surrounding him” (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review).","brand":"The Overlook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126104998128,"sku":"9781468302363","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468302363_p0.jpg?v=1769892577","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468302363","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
