Product Description

As the notorious "Jaws," Richard Kiel took on James Bond in The Spy Who Loved Me. A startling and unusual villian, Jaws proved to be so popular on his first appearance that the character returned for a second tilt at 007 in Moonraker—turning into a hero in the process. Although he is most famous as James Bond's nemesis, Richard Kiel is an accomplished actor, writer, and producer, and has worked in almost every aspect of the movie business. In this revealing autobiography he tells the story of his career from his early extra, prop, and stunt work, through his TV roles in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Wild Wild West, The Monkees and other classic series, as well as films as varied as The Nutty Professor, Silver Streak, and Pale Rider.


From the Publisher

As “Jaws,” Richard Kiel took on James Bond in both “The Spy Who Loved Me” and “Moonraker.” With a seven–foot–three physique and a mouth full of steel teeth, this startling villain proved to be so popular in his first appearance that the character returned for a second tilt at 007—becoming a hero in the process. Although he is most famous as James Bond’s archenemy, Richard Kiel is also an accomplished screen actor, writer, and producer, who has worked in almost every area of the movie business. In this revealing autobiography, Kiel tells the story of his career, from his early prop and stunt work, through his roles in classic TV series like “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” “The Wild Wild West,” and “The Twilight Zone,” to his work in films as varied as “The Nutty Professor,” “Silver Streak,” and “Pale Rider.” --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars INFORMATIVE HEART WARMING INSPIRATION!, July 18, 2002
By Neil R. Brown (Red Bluff, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Richard Kiel has a warm interesting way of sharing his reality of how persistence pays off. This book gives workable insights that will help anyone wanting to improve their lot in life! Richard's giant-size heartfelt sincerity shines through the dozens of stories about how he climbed each rung of the ladder that led him to more and more success - with dry wit and the type of charm that only truth brings. The "insider" knowledge he brings to life will serve to renew any reader's determination to reach his or her own goals. Definitely up there with books by Art Linkletter, Napoleon Hill and others. Don't pass it up!

5.0 out of 5 stars MAKING IT BIG is a Big Read, June 9, 2002
By Al Bigley (Charlotte NC) - See all my reviews
This is not only a vastly entertaining book, but informative, too. Richard gives advice and details on making your own films, from financing, casting, etc. He doesn't fail to mention some of the pitfalls to watch out for, also.

A very good read if you're interested in television, film, movies(in front of or behind the camera)!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book as big as the man himself!
Richard Kiel is one of my favorite actors from both Bond and beyond and this book surely doesn't disappoint! Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not about Bond, and not all that big.
This is a poorly written book. Kiel's writing style is very flat, and sounds for all the world like a 9th grader's "What I Did on My Summer Vacation" essay. Read more
