Título: People I've Known and Been
Autor: Rich Little
Sinopse: More than just a biography of Rich Little. This is an in-depth view of the relationships he's formed, and interesting people he's met and impersonated. He reveals the many quirks and personalities of celebrities, as well as US Presidents.
You get a glimpse into his childhood, and learn what motivated him to become one of the world's most well-known impersonators.
The book is filled with photos from his private collection, as well as his charcoal drawings of many of the people he impersonates.
Rich Little is an internationally known impersonator and master of mimicry.
Known as the Man of 200 voices, he has appeared on television and stage for more than five decades.
A professed classic movie buff, he's particularly fond of doing Jimmy Stewart, Jack Lemmon, John Wayne and Humphrey Bogart, but Little has also latched on to baby boomer-friendly characters, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stalone, Andy Rooney and Dr. Phil, to name a few.
He has also done impersonations of US Presidents from John F. Kennedy to Donald Trump. His favorite, however, was Ronald Reagan, who became a close friend.
He was born in Ottawa, Canada, but became a US citizen in 2010. At the judge's request, he was sworn in in John Wayne's voice.
