Mantan the Funnyman

Description

The epic life of Mantan Moreland unfolds in Michael H. Price’s vivid account of a career that ranged from the Minstrel tradition, through the circus world and Broadway, to Hollywood, through political woes and a defiant comeback. Who’d have thought that Charlie Chan’s chauffeur had such an immense back-story? An expanded edition of the original volume of 2006, with newly unearthed photographs, fresh insights, and a rare 1948 interview in the artist’s own emphatic words.
