Carol’s Book Report

“Number One-Walking” By Steve Martin
Carol’s Book Report

This is a brief biography of Steve Martin told through drawings by Harry Bliss. 

He tells some funny stories like the one about the f-bomb scene in Planes, Trains and Automobiles which is classic, but they shot a cleaned up version in case the it wouldn’t pass the rating review board which in 1987 was much stricter than it is now. 

He talks about working with children, his dislike of a certain talk show host, and his experience playing a sadistic dentist in not one, but two movies. And then a bunch of one box cartoons. 

It’s a funny little book and I’m guessing he and Harry had a great time putting it together.

This title is available in print at the Library.
 

Carol is the Director of the Churchill County Library. She saw Steve Martin years ago at the Allentown Fair in Pennsylvania when he was performing the arrow in the head routine.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
