The childhood, adolescence, and incredible adult years of Al Hirshfeld, celebrated creator of thousands of line drawings of famous people - many in the entertainment industry - over a span of seventy years. He was still drawing in his nineties. His interesting domestic life, political, and cultural views are highlights. In addition, he talks about himself a bit - seriously and lightly. (At one point, he he claims that his only exercise has been the stairs in his Manhattan townhouse.) He drives his car around Manhattan - an adventure in itself. Brief interviews with, and reminiscences of many friends and associates.
