Trust Me: A Memoir

By George Kennedy

These are memoirs of a kid born in New York City in 1925. His dad George Senior was a pianist composer and orchestra leader at Proctor's Vaudeville Theatre and his mother Helen played in a classic dance troupe. Hanky-panky ensued. They married and I soon was the result... I write like I talk. A long time ago I tried making 'talking and telling the truth' one and the same. That isn't just difficult; it means painfully reviewing things you've been led to believe since you were a child. That's very hard to do. Like many I have marched along adhering to conventions (sex color church party gang) without examination. There's a wonderful protective 'togetherness' in that anonymity. You obey or are damned less joined together than stuck together. You become an echo rather than a voice. This book is about what happens when you stop fearing and think. I like writing but warmed-over BS is not on the menu. You are the most important thing in life. Every phrase in the book awkward or not is how I think and question everything. I wrote every word as if we were sitting together. I want you to think too... George Kennedy from the preface
