Remember with Advantages details the extraordinary journey of performer Barry Morse, 1918-2008. He candidly relates his childhood as a Cockney boy in the East End of London and his win, against all odds, of a full scholarship to the famed Royal Academy of Dramatic Art at the age of 15. He describes how this unlikely beginning propelled him into an international career on stage and screen, including starring roles on Broadway, London's West End, and in television series such as The Fugitive, Space: 1999, and The Winds of War. He crosses paths with numerous notable figures along the way, including George Bernard Shaw, Noel Coward, Peter Cushing, Alfred Hitchcock, David Janssen, Robert Mitchum, and many others. One of the most versatile pros in show business, his book is more than just a memoir; it is a wealth of theatrical history and stands as testament to an era which is gone forever. The Foreword to the book is written by Academy Award-winning actor Martin Landau.  Available from major booksellers and directly from the publisher, McFarland and Company.  For the UK and in Europe, we recommend Eurospan.
