It's about time someone wrote a biography about Don Ameche. He did so much radio, television and movies that I am surprised someone did not do this earlier. Ben Ohmart of Bear Manor Media did a superb job. Ameche was a father, a singer, a sharp comedic wit, and a charming man who only wanted to entertain as long as he could. He did just that and it is the same opinion I acquired after reading this book.
The author went to the family for permission to do the book, as it is apparent with the family photos. And one of radio's versatile voices receives full treatment. There is a reprint of never-before-heard or read radio scripts from The Bickersons. Goldilocks and Silk Stockings are also discussed. Anyone who covers the Broadway career of an actor certainly dug deep into the vaults for information. I could go on for pages and pages about how good this book is but I will not spoil the fun. Buy this book.
