Joseph Cotten : Just bought his autobiography, 'Vanity Will Get You Somewhere'

Just bought his autobiography, 'Vanity Will Get You Somewhere'

Can't wait for it to arrive. Have you read it? Liked it, disliked it?

I'm sure the original commenter has received the book by now, but since he hasn't made it back with an update, allow me to.

I have Joseph Cotten's autobiography, and I have to say, it is one of the BEST WRITTEN autobiographies I have ever read. Just excellent. It's written in a very conversational tone, very candid, and it just feels like he's right there sharing his life with you.

It was out of print a few years ago when I bought it used, online, although that may have changed.

If you're a Joseph Cotten fan, you'll love his book.

Thanks for your glowing review of Cotten's autobiography. I don't know his work except for one of my favorite films, "September Affair". But I love reading the bios and autobios of golden 111c era stars.

So, thanks to you, I'm looking forward to it.
