Christopher Plummer has appeared in more than 100 films, including The Man Who Would Be King and A Beautiful Mind. Honored with two Tony Awards for his title roles in Cyrano and Barrymore, Plummer has starred in several prize-winning productions on Broadway and in London’s West End. In Spite of Myself is a rollicking memoir of his travails in show business and a revelation of his wild and exuberant life as an actor.
