With his raw honesty and wicked sense of humour, the renowned actor chronicles his life in this generation-defining book, cataloging with powerful detail his far too many brushes with death, his loving relationship with his parents, and behind-the-scenes stories of the movies he’s starred in, including \u003ci\u003eM*A*S*H, Klute, Kelly’s Heroes, Don’t Look Now, Ordinary People, JFK, The Eye of the Needle, Fellini’s Casanova, 1900, The Hunger Games,\u003c\/i\u003e and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eMade Up, But Still True, \u003c\/i\u003eSutherland offers an unfiltered account of his life that is deeply insightful, emotional, and often very funny. In 1937 he was treated for infantile paralysis, followed a couple of years later by a bacterial infection that required a hammer and chisel to clean up his mastoiditis. Later in life, a rheumatic fever could have killed him, and after that, a bout with spinal meningitis did kill him, but only for a few seconds, then left him in a coma that took him a good while to come out of. As a sixteen-year-old he experienced his first sexual relationship, his first love, his first lessons in love. She was twice his age and they had a wonderful time. He also reveals the onstage triumphs that began his career; the pitfalls that threatened it and the movies that burnished it; and the on- and off-set hijinks that gave it all colour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With surprising candour and powerful, lyrical prose, these unforgettable reminiscences offer an unprecedented look at the remarkable life of a legendary—and legendarily private—Hollywood icon.","brand":"Donald Sutherland (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Penguin Canada |  Hardback  |  2026-02-03","offer_id":46019481239807,"sku":"9780735249028","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_b5ee50c7-3691-4bea-ae28-6d09332a87cd.jpg?v=1732306588","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780735249028","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
