I’m Not Dead…Yet!
Best known for starring in films such as “Ice Castles”, “Ode to Billy Joe”, “The Chosen”, “Running Brave”, in his own screenplay for the Warner Bros. basketball classic, “One on One” and to a new generation as the voice of Beast in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” actor, director, producer, writer, composer and entertainer Robby Benson has authored a new memoir I’m Not Dead…Yet!
I’m Not Dead…Yet! is a funny, introspective look at surviving four open heart surgeries for a congenital valve defect while continuing a dynamic creative career in and out of Hollywood. 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. I’m Not Dead… Yet! was originally conceived by Benson for the iPad as a cutting edge use of technology to create a multi-media experience for the reader. The ‘flagship’ iPad version includes 20 songs, 4 career film clips, 5 slide shows of his photography scored by Benson himself and
preface and epilogue read by the author. The Standard version of I’m Not Dead… Yet! is available in print and all e-reader/tablet formats now.
“So attitude is something we should constantly do an internal check-up on--and make adjustments. The beautiful thing about an attitude change can be likened to the words 'Cut!"and 'Action!'. If the take was horrible, a new reality can begin with the next take when they call "Action!' just moments later.""...if you realize that you cannot change your attitude--if you come to the conclusion you don't even care if you change your attitude--if you find yourself unable to jump-start any change in your attitude, you've got a serious problem and you should seek help.”
