A riveting medical memoir— actor/writer/director Robby Benson takes us on a candid journey from athletic soft-spoken heartthrob on Broadway and film, to husband, father, professor— and courageous survivor of 4 open-heart surgeries. Benson’s goal with the book is to help patients of all kinds and their loved ones get through surgery and recovery with knowledge and humor.
From One On One, Ice Castles, The Chosen and Disney’s Beauty and The Beast to directing TV’s Ellen and Friends, the funny and explicit narrative— with the author's beautiful photography, career and personal photos, and helpful medical links— is a must for fans and essential reading for heart patients and their loved ones, and anyone searching for what should be the template for medical care in America.
New York Times #1 bestselling author, Michael F. Roizen, M.D. praised I'm Not Dead... Yet!: "When you read this funny and courageously blunt book, you'll understand how to gain the vibrancy that Robby and his wife, Karla, have. ...What a great read and what an important story for all patients and their families dealing with a challenging illness."
