Starring alongside the most famous horse in Americana, Mr. Young s name became a household staple. Millions of fans from multiple generations have come to embrace his character of Wilbur Post, and so many still watch his show today. In this wonderful memoir, aside from his classic role, readers will learn details from his personal life such as when he was: cast in films as the all-American boy, even though he was born in England and raised in Canada; handpicked by George Burns to star in Mister Ed; the writer and voice of Scrooge McDuck for Disney s Mickey s Christmas Carol; and was friends with Hollywood elite including Clint Eastwood, Rod Taylor, Mae West and Marilyn Monroe. Throughout my career, strange events have taken place and I ve met some amazing people, says Mr. Young. Through it all, I ve looked back on Mister Ed with the fondest of memories. I hope fans of all ages will do the same.

Mister Ed and Me and More! Reviews
| 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful  Terrific New Edition, By Catstarbuck (Santa Barbara, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Mister Ed and Me and More! (Paperback) I bought the first version of Mr. Ed and Me when it came out in 1994, but this new expanded version entitled Mr. Ed and Me and More is far superior. With much added text by Alan Young and extensively illustrated with many more rare photographs, this new more elaborate version is well worth the money. This is a quirky and delightful memoir by the man who worked with the world's most famous talking horse, Mister Ed, in one of the most beloved television shows of all time. The book also contains a new section written by actress Connie Hines who played Carol Post, Alan Young's wife on the Mister Ed show. She writes for the first time about her background, life, and, of course, Mister Ed. Alan Young has a charming writing style and it is easy to see the fun and warmth of the show reflected in the man. Full of behind the scenes information about the Mister Ed show, Young also writes about his film roles including the classic film version of H.G. Wells's The Time Machine (1960) directed by...

(Paperback) Mister Ed and Me and More! is the autobiography of actor Alan Young, perhaps most famous for his sitcom role as Wilbur Post, co-starring with the "talking" horse Mr. Ed. Born in England, raised in Canada, yet often playing the role of "the all-American boy", Young tells of his youth, his friendships with Hollywood elite, his movie career, and much more. A dollop of tongue-in-cheek humor as well as an assortment of vintage black-and-white photographs rounds out this genial memoir. Especially recommended for fans of Alan Young - or Mr. Ed! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful Straight from Wilbur's Mouth, By Malcolm Dolan "Malcolm Dolan" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews This review is from: Mister Ed and Me and More! (Paperback) I love Mister Ed. I was pleased to buy this book at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention and more pleased to have purchased a copy with Alan Young's signature inside. Clint Eastwood, George Burns, Warner Bros., they are all here. Story after story after story. The kind of autobiography and behind-the-scenes stories we all love to hear and read. Rarely do autobiographies fall into the category of enjoyable reads. This one is certainly recommended if you love Mister Ed. |
