700 Sundays (2005) Billy Crystal (Author)
Actor Billy Crystal's father, Jack, died of a heart attack when Crystal was 15. Because Jack worked two jobs, he could only devote time to his family on Sundays, and Crystal calculated they spent 700 Sundays together. This look at Crystal's upbringing on Long Island includes comical family characters and touching interactions with his father. Other characters include Jazz legends such as Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong, whose concerts were promoted by Jack Crystal. Based on the one-man Broadway show 700 Sundays.
