president America has ever had Why his foreign policy of speaking
softly and carrying a big stick was so successful How the
“Progressive” Roosevelt was actually a “Conservative”

Barry

Of TV/Film and Stage: The Importance Of Being ERNIE
|
"
I SPENT MY ENTIRE LIFE PLAYING NERDS. . ."—Barry Livingston
A true Hollywood survivor, Barry Livingston is one of the
few child stars who turned early success into a lifelong career.
As "Ernie" on the 1960s sit-com My Three Sons—which also featured
his real-life brother Stanley as "Chip"—Barry become instantly
recognizable for his horn-rimmed glasses and goofy charm.
Five deCAes later, after working on TV shows like Mad Men
and Desperate Housewives, and in feature films like Zodiac
and The Social Network, Barry Livingston is one actor who
knows The Importance of Being Ernie. . . In
this fascinating and funny memoir, Barry reveals his most
unforgettable anecdotes: Working on set with Fred McMurray,
Ozzie and Harriet, Lucille Ball and Dick Van Dyke. Riding
a limousine with Elvis Presley. Trying to upstage Ron "Opie"
Howard. Even shooting a Superbowl beer commercial with Brad
Pitt. At first, Barry's lazy eye and horn-rimmed glasses nearly
derailed his career, getting him kicked off his first major
film starring Paul Newman. Eventually, his "nerdy" look became
his biggest asset, landing Barry a recurring role on Ozzie
& Harriet and a regular part on My Three Sons. Fifty years
later, Barry is still going strong—from the stage and small
screen to to featured film roles opposite Adam Sandler and
Robert Downey, Jr.. Like most Hollywood actors, Barry experienced
some incredible highs and lows along the way, but he never
gave up. "I've been around half a century," he affirms. "And
I'm not going away." This is how one child star beat the odds
and survived the dark side of the Hollywood dream factory—with
charm, wit, determination. . .and big horn-rimmed glasses.
This is The Importance of Being Ernie. Barry Livingston continues
to appear regularly in feature films and television shows.
He is married with two children, and lives in Los Angeles.
Praise For The Importance Of Being Ernie "This wryly told
saga of a child star who miraculously avoided the crash-and-burn
fate of so many of the once-famous. . . an engaging tale of
the unusual life of a humorous, modest, and observant man.
Barry Livingston delivers a frank and funny tale of TV, movies,
and family life." —Brent Maddock,
co-author of Tremors and Short Circuit
