Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My father, Don Knotts, was an actor. He was preparing to make his second feature film, The Reluctant Astronaut, the second of five he would star in for Universal Pictures. His conversations with me frequently went like this: If this picture doesn’t work out, I’ll go back to square one. I knew he was thinking negative thoughts, and I wanted to help him break out of that cycle. #2 When I decided to write this book, I met Dad’s first cousin Ray Lewis Knotts for the first time and asked him how Dad’s family ended up so poor. I was surprised to learn that Dad’s father, Jesse, had originally come from money. #3 Don was born in 1924. His family moved to Westover, a suburb of Morgantown, when he was young. His mother, Elsie, was thirty-nine years old when she got pregnant with him. When she asked her youngest boy if he would rather have a baby boy or a baby girl, he answered that he would prefer a pony. #4 Don was a boy on his daybed in the kitchen, freezing cold nights, anxious and afraid, listening to his toes talk to him to keep him company. He would later learn how to shoot the. 22 rifle.
