505 0  Up the tree of the knowledge of good and evil -- Throwing 
       rocks -- Getting down from up a tree. 
520    One of America's most recognizable and acclaimed actors, 
       the only person to ever win Emmys for acting, writing, and
       directing, Alda has written a memoir as elegant, funny, 
       and affecting as his greatest performances. The son of a 
       popular actor and a loving but mentally ill mother, he 
       spent his early childhood backstage in the erotic and 
       comic world of burlesque and went on, after early 
       struggles, to achieve extraordinary success in his 
       profession. Yet this is not a memoir of show-business ups 
       and downs. It is a story of a boy growing into a man who 
       then realizes he has only just begun to grow. Alda learns 
       the hard way that change, uncertainty, and transformation 
       are what life is made of, and true happiness is found in 
       embracing them.--From publisher description.
