基本説明

ジョエル・グレイと聞いてピンとこない方でも、ライザ・ミネリと共演した1972年製作の映画「キャバレー」で司会者役(その名もエムシー)を演じた俳優といえば思い出していただけるでしょうか(ただし年配の方に限りますが)。本書はそのミュージカルでの、胡散臭く、退廃的な、そして存在感たっぷりの演技によってオスカー賞助演男優賞を獲得した名優の自伝です。昨年にはゲイであることを自ら明かして話題となりました。(2016/02/10)

Full Description


Broadway star and Academy Award-winner Joel Grey tells the incredible story of a life lived both in and out of the spotlight.Willkomen. Bienvenue. Welcome. Joel Grey, the Academy Award-winning Master of Ceremonies in Cabaret finally tells his remarkable life story. Born Joel Katz to a boisterous Jewish-American family in 1930's Cleveland (the son of comedian and singer Mickey Katz), Joel began his life in theater at the age of 10, starring in local Cleveland productions of touring Broadway hits. He was hooked, and the hunt for the spotlight takes him from community theater in Ohio, to seedy, gangster-filled nightclubs in Chicago, and finally to the lights of Broadway and the dizzying glamour of Hollywood.Master of Ceremonies is a memoir of a life lived in and out of the limelight, but it is also the story of the man behind the stage makeup. Coming of age in a time when being yourself is not only difficult, but dangerous, Joel has to act both on and off stage. Deftly capturing the pain and secrets of an age and time we have only just started to leave behind, Joel's story is one of love, loss, and redemption.At once a riveting, heartbreaking memoir, thrilling show business tell-all and a portrait of a changing time and nation, Master of Ceremonies is the poignant tour-de-force from a living legend.
