Making It So: A Memoir

Product Information

This is a sweet story of his childhood growing up in Yorkshire, then his move to the stage acting, and finally Hollywood. Mistakes and accomplishments are written so humbly. I have followed his career since from a respectful distance, and when I learned he was writing his memoir, I was over the moon with excitement. The subject that most captivated me was English literature. In my second year at the Mirfield Secondary Modern School, I was assigned to the Eng-lit class of Cecil Dormand, who was also my form master. He was to have a transformational impact on my life. To Stewart the discovery was a breakthrough. I ask now if becoming aware of his father’s illness made it easier to comprehend, if not excuse, his actions?

I also wasn't as thrilled with the episodic recaps of TNG. I enjoyed his takes on the episodes on later viewing, but more on the actual production would have been nice.

Even now, Stewart’s age hasn’t quite caught up with some of the walk-on parts he played as a novice – an 85-year-old butler, or someone’s ancient American father in an obscure Shaw play. “I was dreadful and everyone knew it,” he recalls of the latter.

It is fascinating to read an 83 year old man have an almost childlike wonder and awe at the world around him and the people he meets.
