Famous Father Girl Book Reviews
Famous Father Girl by Jamie Bernstein Book Summary
The intimate memoir of Leonard Bernstein and his family, that helped inspire the new movie Maestro
The oldest daughter of revered composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein offers a rare look at her father on the centennial of his birth in a deeply intimate and broadly evocative memoir
The composer of On the Town and West Side Story, chief conductor of the New York Philharmonic, television star, humanitarian, friend of the powerful and influential, and the life of every party, Leonard Bernstein was an enormous celebrity during one of the headiest periods of American cultural life, as well as the most protean musician in twentieth century America.
But to his eldest daughter, Jamie, he was above all the man in the scratchy brown bathrobe who smelled of cigarettes; the jokester and compulsive teacher who enthused about Beethoven and the Beatles; the insomniac whose 4 a.m. composing breaks involved spooning baby food out of the jar. He taught his daughter to love the world in all its beauty and complexity. In public and private, Lenny was larger than life.
In Famous Father Girl, Bernstein mines the emotional depths of her childhood and invites us into her family’s private world. A fantastic set of characters populates the Bernsteins’ lives, including: the Kennedys, Mike Nichols, John Lennon, Richard Avedon, Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, and Betty (Lauren) Bacall.
An intoxicating tale, Famous Father Girl is an intimate meditation on a complex and sometimes troubled man, the family he raised, and the music he composed that became the soundtrack to their entwined lives. Deeply moving and often hilarious, Bernstein’s beautifully written memoir is a great American story about one of the greatest Americans of the modern age.

Fabulous book. Thank you Jamie Bernstein to have written these memories about you and your family. It is fascinating to read what happened inside the family of a musical genius like Lenny. Not for the gossips , but mostly for the reactions of you siblings, the way you navigated among this artistic world where you can sometimes loose your mind. My father was a conductor , pop artist, that’s why I am so sensitive to your father’s story and the relationship you had with him as a daughter. Bravo Lenny will live forever.
Fun. I found your book engrossing. So glad you wrote it. It answered my curiosity regarding the being behind Mr. Bernstein’s prodigious and inspiring output. The family viewpoint is priceless & snippets of data SO appreciated—e.g., the dynamics of the Vienna Philharmonic. And how satisfying to know that you found that final connection and fulfillment. Greatly enjoyed this book.
