  • Reviews: "A really enjoyable read covering Tim's remarkable screen career--and some juicy tidbits about what actually goes on behind the scenes on a Hollywood set!"-- Mel Brooks, "Endearing. . . . This peek inside the Hollywood dream factory effortlessly balances glamor and gumption."-- Publishers Weekly, "As classics like Julia Phillips's You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again and Charles Grodin's It Would Be So Nice If You Weren't Here have proved, the best Hollywood memoirs are written by those who have seen both sides of what can be a profoundly exhilarating and sadistically brutal industry. Add to that pile Tim Matheson's Damn Glad to Meet You, which spares no sacred cows. The actor and director makes a marvelous narrative out of his career which spanned roles in everything from Leave It to Beaver to Animal House to The West Wing . Wittily delivered in wry first person, Damn Glad to Meet You is a hilariously dishy meditation on the long, strange life of a midlevel star."-- Wall Street Journal, "Actor and director Matheson shares his fascinating life story and experience of 'film school boot camp' in this entertaining memoir. . . . His story is peppered with lively tales about being beaten up every night on stage by a ruthless Daniel Stern, dating supermodel Twiggy, failing as a Hollywood mogul in the 1980s, and discovering a passion for directing television. . . . Matheson is honest and self-effacing when discussing his personal life, and he provides valuable advice for those trying to get into the business. Yes, he does discuss John Belushi."-- Library Journal
  • Synopsis: "I found myself underlining and highlighting things to remember for my own career. It's also entertaining--a great combination. Tim's words encourage you to keep dreaming."--Reba McEntire "Tim was a cast, crew, and audience favorite on The West Wing . He's been at the center of some of America's most iconic film and television. Damn Glad to Meet You is a fascinating, hilarious, and often very moving inside look at his extraordinary career."--Aaron Sorkin A "damn good" fun and revealing memoir from the acclaimed Hollywood actor, Tim Matheson For the past seven decades, Tim Matheson has been an on-screen favorite in Hollywood. In his debut memoir, Tim takes fans behind-the-scenes of his illustrious career, and reveals what it was like to learn from and work alongside the greats, including Lucille Ball, Dick Van Dyke, Steven Spielberg, and Aaron Sorkin. Tim also talks about how he transitioned from acting to directing, the role in The West Wing that nabbed him two Emmy nominations-and so much more. Filled to the brim with both riveting stories of the ever-changing entertainment industry and illuminating insight via "film school boot camp" sidebars, readers everywhere are going to be "damn glad" they read this fascinating memoir.
