Don't Tell Dad: A Memoir Tapa dura - 1998

Información de la editorial

In a rip-roaring ride through the '60s and up to the present day, Peter Fonda, son of Henry, brother of Jane, and father of Bridget, boldly recalls his turbulent life, sharing with readers for the first time the true stories behind the legends, famous and infamous, surrounding himself and his family.

Fonda spares no details about his cold and distant father (who was consumed by his career and many marriages), his mother's suicide (which his family tried to hide), and Jane's first sexual experience and stormy marriages. He also has vivid tales of his own escapades with Marlon Brando, Paul Getty, Jr., Salvador Dali, Warren Beatty, the Beatles, and Dennis Hopper (on the set of Easy Rider). Peter Fonda's memoir is as much a poignant personal story as it is the story of one of the greatest Hollywood families -- one in which the country has often seen its own reflection. From Fonda's mother shooting at wildcats in their backyard in the L.A. suburbs to his childhood attempts to understand his famous father to his own children's success in Hollywood, Peter Fonda tells his tale with the humor and compelling frankness of a natural storyteller.
