In Al Hirshfeld's childhood, adolescence and incredible adulthood, thousands of famous figures (many in the entertainment industry) have been praised for their line drawings over a history of more than 60 years. He is still in his nineties. His interesting family life, political and cultural views are the focus. In addition, he talks about himself seriously and easily (for one thing, he claims that his only way to exercise is to live in a townhouse in Manhattan: stairs). He drives around Manhattan-it's an adventure in itself. Brief interviews with many friends and colleagues and memories of them.
