Robert Vaughn cancels appearance at Margaret Mitchell House
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Robert Vaughn, “The Man From U.N.C.L.E,” has had to postpone his appearance at the Margaret Mitchell House that was scheduled for Thursday.
His manager, Joe Rinaldi, told me that Vaughn had picked up some kind of serious bug on a recent trip overseas and needed a week or two of complete bedrest. He’s had to cancel or postpone a chunk of his tour to promote his new memoir, “A Fortunate Life.” Rinaldi says he will reschedule the Atlanta appearance as soon as possible.
“A Fortunate Life” is in some ways your standard actor’s autobiography (me-me-me), but it’s also full of surprises. I had no idea how many people Vaughn had known through his long life — he’s 75 — but I enjoyed reading about how he recited Shakespeare for John Barrymore as a child in a saloon, dated (ahem) a teenaged Natalie Wood, and told a young Jack Nicholson not to give up, his acting career would one day take off. And of course the stuff about “U.N.C.L.E.” is a hoot.
When Vaughn gets better, I’m supposed to do an interview with him and I will post it here.
