Blending a candid confessional with a sense of humor, Rebel Without A Clue - A Way-Off Broadway Memoir illustrates how, with persistence, patience and pluck, I became an expert on survival. My memoir describes my turbulent, often farcical, journey in a desperate search for a career in the theater. After suffering countless heartbreaking disappointments, I discovered the bright lights of Broadway became littered with burned-out bulbs and the drama, on stage and off, made a not-so-funny second act. Never giving up, my story also reveals how I managed to carry on and achieve a few surprising triumphs along the way - most important, a marriage of 51 years, three remarkable children and a wonderful grandson. In 27 crisp chapters, a spirited road map unfolds of the zigzag route I wandered, confident my big theatrical break loomed over the next speed bump or just around a hidden corner. Although I was clueless of my rebellion at the time, looking back, I realize my contrariness started at a young age. I knew my parents loved and cared for me, but somewhere I lost confidence in them and we drifted apart. My father was a hard-working, stern man who I never connected with. My mother was a gentle woman who served as the peacemaker of the household. My parents and older sister and brother were born in what was then Czechoslovakia, near the Russian border. My father hoped to move the family to the United States, but because of quotas he diverted us to Canada where I was born in 1938.The acting bug hit me early, so I became a theater major at Rutgers University, the University of Miami and in the graduate program at Catholic University. I even earned the "Best Actor Award" while at Miami, so my ego got an unrealistic boost to forge ahead. Could my name on a Broadway marquee be far away?In a laughable way, major decisions about my future happened in a haphazard clueless manner. If not for the urging of a friend I would never have attended college. Another time, an accidental visit w.

Rebel without a clue is a story which begins in the early sixties and concerns a youth who develops a passion to achieve a greater understanding. Meeting more independent people he leaves home to become part of a growing underground culture. Convinced that he is part of a new renaissance he ingests everything he finds that feeds his passion, unaware of what’s on the outside of the circles he moves in. When, after allowing it to run its course, the tools of the establishment put an end to this insurgency, he finds himself alone and dependent upon drugs. Critical of others because of what he considers is their superficiality he can’t break away from the isolation he's imposed upon himself. He soon finds himself on the streets and realises that he has become a political exile, unwanted by all and sundry. His struggle to return and to regain his sanity leads him to a further development.
