Informationen zum Autor George Lopez con Armen Keteyian Klappentext Today, George Lopez stars in his own hit television show and performs stand-up to sold-out crowds across the country--but the road to the top was anything but easy. In "Why You Crying?. Lopez gives us the funny and sad sides of his life story, whether he's writing about his poor, fatherless upbringing in California; triumph in the battle against drinking and depression; the inspiration of idols such as Freddie Prinze; or his road to becoming a devoted husband and father. Along the way, Lopez riffs on the importance of family, amusing differences between Chicano and Anglo culture, the tedious jobs and colorful characters he encountered before committing to comedy full-time and more--all part of a fascinating life and career that have broken barriers of race, culture and class and given us all the gift of laughter. "I fell in love with George's story....He speaks the truth and opens people's minds," Zusammenfassung Abandonado por su padre, un trabajador migratorio, a la tierna edad de dos meses, y luego también, a los diez años, por una madre emocionalmente inestable, López creció solo, con rabia, atormentado y objeto de burlas en el Valle de San Fernando, California, criado por unos abuelos para quienes el amor era una mala palabra. Inspirado por sus ídolos, Freddie Prinze Sr. y Richard Pryor, López comienza un turbulento recorrido de veinte años por el frenético mundo de los comediantes -- tratando de aprender un arte que nadie puede enseñar; triunfando una noche y fracasando la sigui-ente; luchando contra la ira, el alcohol, la depresión, y la duda, al tiempo que se enfrenta a las barreras levantadas para impedir que los chicanos salgan adelante, especialmente en los programas de las grandes cadenas de televisión. En este día, el programa de George López es un éxito en las horas de más audiencia en ABC y sus presentaciones personales como comediante, vendidas a capacidad, atraen a miles de admiradores de todas edades que se desternillan de la risa con las historias salidas de una vida que, de lo triste que era, llegó a ser cómica....
