“There are some lives you have to read to believe they were really lived. Russ Tamblyn lived one of those lives. A killer story about one of our last remaining living legends of the screen. His time as child actor in the forties (in Gun Crazy), his time working and acrobatically dancing his way through MGM’s glorious heyday of the fifties, to being one of the coolest iconoclasts of the sixties, to his days toiling in the world of sleazy seventies exploitation cinema (my favorite part), all written by the man himself.”

“Russ Tamblyn’s memoir, Dancing on the Edge, is a thrilling high-wire read about the life of one of the most daring, riveting, and gifted actors and acrobatic dancers of not just our time, but any time.”

“A rollickin’ good memoir complete with inspiring life changes, personal spice, and the making of art. It’s a Rolodex of loves and a dance card of cartwheels.”

“Everyone wanted to know—who is this fabulous Dr. Jacoby, really? Read this book and put the coffee on!”

“A personable, offbeat Tinseltown memoir.”

“With his role in the Twin Peaks reboot and his numerous dance numbers finding new life online, Tamblyn, his engaging memoir, and his stories will be of high interest.”

“Endearing…A valuable account of both Old Hollywood and the West Coast beat scene.”

“Singular, bold, and intimate are among the many qualities that describe dancer, actor, and fine artist Russ Tamblyn’s narration of his immersive memoir…An offbeat, unvarnished reflection on a life well lived.”

“Russ Tamblyn’s story is an insightful and entertaining self-examination by a gifted actor whose on- and off-screen experiences offer us an honest look at what it meant to grow up at the end of the Hollywood studio system.”

“This is one of those rare Hollywood memoirs whose appeal stretches far beyond its subject’s star power.”
