Up Till Now: The Autobiography

The New York Times bestseller: "That rare celebrity autobiography that's as entertaining as it is self-revealing, a genuinely fun read." ―The Dallas Morning News After almost sixty years as an actor, William Shatner has become one of the most beloved entertainers in the world. It was the original Star Trek series, and later its films, that made Shatner an internationally known figure, but he neither began nor ended his career with Captain Kirk. He straddled the classic world of the theater and the new world of television, stepping in for Christopher Plummer in Shakespeare's Henry V and staring at "something on the wing" in a classic episode of The Twilight Zone. And he's gone on to star in numerous successful shows including T. J. Hooker, Rescue 911, and most recently, Boston Legal. In this touching and very funny autobiography, William Shatner reveals the stories behind these unforgettable moments and tells us how he's become the worldwide star and acclaimed actor he is today. "It is now Bill Shatner's universe—we just live in it." —New York Daily News "Shatner's sincerity, honesty, and heightened sense of humor all come across at warp speed in this entertaining memoir." ―Publishers Weekly "Shatner makes you feel like he's sitting out on the balcony with you, sharing a cigar and waxing nostalgic." ―The Oregonian "Why did William Shatner cross the road? Why has he ever? To get to the other side. To see what's out there. To find out stuff and inhale the universe in his singular Shatnerian way." —Associated Press
