From acclaimed director Michael Lindsay-Hogg (The Normal Heart, Brideshead Revisited, Let It Be, etc.), son of glamorous Warners’ movie star Geraldine Fitzgerald (Dark Victory, Wuthering Heights, etc.): a magical dreamscape memoir of his boyhood, coming of age, and making his way in the worlds of theater, film, and television.He writes of growing up in Santa Monica, encountering the likes of Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst; being surrounded by his mother’s pals, Hollywood’s elite—Olivier, Chaplin, Orson Welles, et al.—and eyeing a life in the theater as Fitzgerald worked in stage productions in New York.At the book’s center, an offhand comment made to him by his mother about rumors circulating (false, she claimed) that she had a romantic relationship with Orson Welles . . . and that Welles was Michael’s father. (“You know how people put two and two together and get three,” she said.)As Lindsay-Hogg struggled to make sense of it all, questions of missed chances, conversations never had, questions of what is withheld and what is true took root, dogging him, shaping his life . . . questions still, that haunt and inform this deft, irresistible memoir.
