From Booklist
As actress Suzy Parker says in the preface to her husband's autobiography, Dillman "writes, and damn well." From the first chapter on, he offers the anecdotes, observations, and witty potshots he has accumulated over a long, varied career. That first chapter is called "Critics," and that tribe includes the generic fan who asked him the titular question. Although he may not be a household name, Dillman may qualify as a household face, for in addition to his movie and Broadway credits, he has appeared on TV almost countlessly, including roles in the afternoon soaper Modern Romances, on prime time in Falcon Crest and King's Crossing, and in guest spots on such series as Marcus Welby. Actor Wil-liam Shatner, movie director Raoul Walsh, comedian Jimmy Durante, and dozens of other names more familiar than Dillman's pepper the text. This entertaining reminiscence may not be serious movie and TV history, but, steeped in humor delivered with deft timing, it is an endearing little gem. Mike Tribby
