Chutzpah! Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee, An Actor's Life for Me is a portrait of the most fascinating individual you are likely to meet. You will be swept up in his incredible lives – actor, comedian, magician, painter and writer. Allen Swift is all of them and “The Man of A Thousand Voices.”
A nation of baby boomers grew up on his cartoon characters from Howdy Doody and his friends, Mr. Bluster, Dilly Dally and the Flub-a-Dub, to the voices of Popeye, Mighty Mouse, Tom & Jerry, and hundreds more. For forty years there was never an hour of the day or night that his voices were not heard on over fifty thousand commercials. Chutzpah! Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee, An Actor's Life for Me takes the reader from the streetwise childhood of a dreamer through the hilarious ride of making that dream come true. No one ever made it in show business that way before. No one but he could have pulled it off. This is an amazing adventure, replete with con games, the police and the Mafia, and a master storyteller tells it. The above was written in all humility by the author of this memoir.

My history with Ira goes back to the beginning of my life, because I grew up hearing stories about him. My dad and Ira were army buddies, and "Ira stories" entertained my sister and me from the get go. We knew he was a magician, an actor and could imitate anybody. Dad, a southern Methodist, thought Ira, a Jewish guy from NYC was the one of the most entertaining and nicest guys he had ever met. They lost contact after cadet training and he always wondered where Ira was and how he was doing.Fast forward to me reading a book about Howdy Doody, somewhere around 2001 and discovering that Ira had become Allen Swift and was responsible for just about every voice imaginable on that show and every cartoon that my sister and I had ever watched! I looked him up on the internet, found his email address and got in contact with him. Dad was overjoyed and they arranged to meet. Dad still tears up thinking about seeing him again. It had been sixty years! It turns out Ira had tried to find Dad, but kept misspelling his name! Meeting Ira, his wonderful wife, Lenore, daughter, Clare and sweet granddaughter was so special. Ira entertained us with stories and I so hoped he'd write a book. Well, he did!What a fascinating life the man lived! (And that is such an understatement!) From his early life, taking any job imaginable for a few cents, to his stint in the Army, (where Dad may have been the only Southerner with whom he bonded) to his life "breaking into show business," Ira take us on a fascinating ride. Ira's brain was always one or two, if not three jumps ahead of everyone else's thought processes. Many times it paid off, other times, it got him into trouble, but he always had a deal going.His story made me think of how much there is to everyone's life. Layers upon layers that make us all who we are. Ira Stadlen's immensely entertaining autobiography drives that point home. I was fortunate to have gotten to meet this amazing man and know about him my entire life. He left us with the gift of his talent, which can still be seen and most definitely "heard," and now we have another treasure: the story of his life.

A memoir by Allen Swift....In 1979 I met one of my (still) closest friends, Clare Stadlen.We were inseparable and I spent hours, days and years in her home basking in the presence of her father, whom I adored; I was deeply influenced by him in outlook, imagination, humor... He was a real-life hero for me and I was lucky to be his protege. His name wasAllen Swift (born Ira Stadlen) and he was the voice behind soooo many cartoon characters (including several on The Howdy Doody Show)Well, his life-journey as an entertainer (starting in magic, stand-up comedy, radio, live television, and Broadway theater) is humorously shared in this book!I have never read a book sooo slowly-- savoring every story he shares and feel his spirit resonating as well as the historical accounts of the entertainment industry.I wholeheartedly recommend this book...!!!

By Gene Deitch Allen Swift was my closest personal friend for over 60 years, so you may expect me to be prejudiced in my assessment of his book. I knew he was writing his memoir, but I never asked him to let me read it.i. Suddenly, he went off without me, no doubt playing dates in the great Comedy Club in The Skyl But he left me his magical book,full of amazing stories he never got around to telling me. "You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy Mogen David wine," and you don't need to have known Allen personally to feast on his personality that he left for you in his great book!FIVE STARS!!! Is that all you can give Allen, Amazon??? - Gene Deitch
