HALFWAY TO HOLLYWOOD: Diaries 1980-1988
New York: St. Martin's Press, 2011. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed by Michael Palin on the title page. "The second volume of Michael Palin’s diaries covers the bulk of the 1980s, a decade in which the ties binding the Pythons loosened - they made their last film Monty Pyton’s Meaning of Life in 1983. For Michael, writing and acting took over much of his life, culminating in his appearances in A Fish Called Wanda, in which he played the hapless, stuttering Ken, and won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor. Halfway to Hollywood follows Palin’s torturous trail through seven movies and ends with his final preparations for the documentary that was to change his life - Around the World in 80 Days." Octavo: xxiii, [1], 622 pp. with numerous textual photographs, many in color. Original blue cloth binding, with silver-stamped titling. Light wear to the corners and tips; else near fine in a near fine dust jacket with just a hint of edgewear. Near fine / Near fine. Item #80497
