NEW YORK – At 95, Mel Brooks is more than ready to flaunt his many achievements.
Ballantine Books announced Wednesday that Brooks' memoir “All About Me! My Remarkable Life in Show Business” will come out Nov. 30. Brooks is expected to share all the highlights — and a few setbacks — in a career that includes such classics as the films “Young Frankenstein” and “Blazing Saddles” and the film and Broadway play “The Producers.”
“It was joyous and at times bittersweet writing this book and reliving the peaks and valleys of my incredible journey from Brooklyn to Hollywood to Broadway," Brooks said in a statement. "I hope fans of comedy will get a kick out of the stories behind my work, and really enjoy taking this remarkable ride with me.”
