Now, in this poignant and delightful memoir, he tells the story of how he discovered his own vocation.Horton Foote recalls his youthful aspirations, leaving his Depression-era Texas home to become an actor at age sixteen. He lands in New York City to search for work -- and to study with some of the great Russian and American drama teachers of the 1930s. But after mixed results on the stage, he finally recognizes his true passion: the written word.Collaborating with such legendary talents as Tennessee Williams, Agnes de Mille, and Lillian Gish, Foote thrived in a world of artistic commitment and creative passion. Yet through it all, Horton maintained his genuine Southern charm, often returning home to Wharton, the town that nurtured and inspired him as a storyteller.From one of the most moving and distinctive voices of our time, Beginnings is a rare, personal look at a fascinating era in American life and at the making of an American literary icon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51952388800800,"sku":"NEW0743211162","price":22.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/beginnings-a-memoir-0743211162","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
