Title: Nicely Told Anecdotes.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2015
Review: The reader gets a good glimpse into the life of the actor -- in Hollywood and New York -- as seen through the eyes of Langella, a long-time participant.
He's a decent writer. His prose is concise and perceptive. And there's little of the sort of narcissism we might expect. There are interpolated references to his own career, adventurously rebounding from one year to another, from Bayonne, New Jersey, to Bayonne, France, but autobiography is not Langella's goal. There's no way to judge his achievements from this book. His first film, "Diary of a Mad Housewife," is hardly mentioned. "Lolita" doesn't appear at all.
He's candid about his mistakes too, and that sort of honesty allows him room to make judgments about others, like those he loved (Raul Julia) and those he disliked (Charlton Heston). He's discreet about his love affairs. You need almost second sight to tell when he's scored with a beautiful woman but it's clear that, for an actor like Langella, sex resembled some kind of lavish buffet table, a groaning board on which everything was available.
Without the least bit of sentimentality, we can feel, repeatedly, the writer's compassion for the lonely and the wrecked and his distaste for the imperious. He's in his 70s now, and many of his friends have passed on,. A sense of something lost pervades the book.
I've been impressed by Langella for years. Not so much because of his acting but because in the early 1980s he bothered to write a piece on acting for the New York Times Op-Ed page. Now, that's not a very "Italian" thing to do, according to Gay Talese. In places like Bayonne, New Jersey, writing is not a very manly profession. And here was an article by Frank Langella in the Times, unashamedly well written and thoughtful.
While reading it, I couldn't help comparing it to Kirk Douglas' autobiographical "Ragman's Son," which was very popular reading when it appeared. Douglas' was a pitiless journey through life. He's thoroughly candid about his experiences, and in being honest he fell into the trap of revealing what an ass he is, without realizing that he was, and is, an ass in fact. Douglas has so little insight that he sees nothing wrong in stealing a few cents from his dead father's desk drawer, since his father had given him so little in the way of love. He throws out a young Italian actress and when he learns later of her suicide, he blames her.
Douglas' book is really a savage narrative. Langella's, in contrast, is full of pity for almost everyone except himself. I felt that I should have sent him a note after his Op-Ed piece: "Bravo." Nothing in this book has lessened my admiration for him.

Title: A Look in the Mirror?
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2014
Review: For starters, the book is exceptionally well written and possesses a not-put-down quality. Langella either had a wonderful editor or the guy can flat out write (or both). It is hard to resist the inside looks into many of these people and he does a great job of holding reader attention throughout the book.
That said, in a spate of irony, the more I read, the more I struggled to figure out whether Langella, who waxes endlessly about the flaws of others, is likeable himself. Is he someone to whom I could relate or is he a real jerk?
On the one hand, he seems a candid, passionate, multi-dimensional man with a refreshing refuse-to-kiss-the-ring or bend-over-backwards to-get-ahead, independent persona, and, on the other hand, a mean-spirited, gratuitous-piss-on-the-grave, jealous and petulant child who lacks the capacity to feel for those whose demons painfully rear their heads more often than otherwise.
In the end, I concluded Langella is not that nice a guy. Wholly apart from the glaring (and with a single exception unexplained) fact he went through agents like Zsa Zsa Gabor went through husbands or Richard Pryor wives, while he sometimes exuded compassion for fellow actors and friends, like his seeming unconditional love for Raul Julia, this occurred only when convenient and easy, meaning when naturally and comfortably reciprocated. When, however, he found himself in a more challenging relationship, where it was considerably more difficult to understand, embrace and feel the pain of others and deal with their consuming flawsβa challenge we all sometimes experienceβhe becomes cold and brutally dismissive.
His treatment of Anne Bancroft is telling in this regard. He acknowledges that she βwould cover her anxiety with an imperious disdain.β Thus, he gets that she often "acted" out her fears and insecurities. But then he has this to say about his commitment to their platonic relationship:
βAny relationship in which one party feels even the slightest sense of diminishment had become for me a relationship not worth enduring. I did not so much regret my decision to pull away from her ultimately corrosive aura as I did bemoan the demons that held sway insider . . .β Hey, Frank, as you walk out of my life, thanks anyway for bemoaning my demons!
This, to me, speaks volume about his character. Relationships to him if not smooth sailing, were relegated to the no-regrets trash bin. The irony is that, upon scrutiny, Langella comes off more like the people for whom he exhibits disdain than he may or certainly seems to realizeβshallow, arrogant and insufferably egotistical. He merely acts out his egotistical foibles differently.
