“[Jack Valenti] lived his life as a gentleman and
patriot....He might have been the last of the breed.” —New York
Times
An Influential and Varied Life
The list of notable names—people that Jack Valenti knew and with
whom he worked—is astonishing. Aside from LBJ, there were Jack and
Bobby Kennedy, Kirk Douglas, Frank Sinatra, Robert McNamara,
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Julia Roberts, Cary Grant, Lew
Wasserman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas,
Warren Beatty, and Bill Clinton, to begin a very long list. This
Time, This Place is a candid, unforgettable memoir of the life of
an extraordinary key political player and Hollywood rainmaker. It
is also a sweeping and important historical record, written by a
brilliantly successful man who helped shape politics and
entertainment in the second half of the twentieth century, and who
always found himself at the center of any storm.
“A wonderful story.” —International Herald Tribune
“[Valenti] offers a rousing account of his WWII bombing missions,
JFK’s assassination (he was in the motorcade), and his three-year
stint as one of LBJ’s closest aides.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Only the silver screen can really do justice to a man who is
bigger than life, moved easily among the stars of politics and
Hollywood, and always kept his feet on the ground. An
Oscar-deserving lifetime achievement, if ever there was one.”
—Bill Moyers
