Written from the summer of 1996 through 1998, \u003ci\u003eA Positively Final Appearance\u003c\/i\u003e is a follow-up to the best-selling \u003ci\u003eMy Name Escapes Me\u003c\/i\u003e. Guinness offers frank (and surprising) reflections on the effects of appearing in the \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e films, and both hilarious and poignant memories of such well-known performers as Humphrey Bogart and Noel Coward. This delightful, humorous journal is a wonderful legacy from a beloved actor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Sly, witty, elegant . . . buoyant, vivid, and brave.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Simply, deliciously funny.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Reading Guinness is like finally sitting down and soaking in the wisdom of the grandparent you never seem to have time for.
