I had a class with Anthony at Ole Miss. He always was very polite, the quintessential southern gentleman. Many, many years later I found out he became an actor. Then, more years went by and I saw this book and wondered if this was the same Anthony Hererra I crossed paths with years earlier. It was, and I bought the book. I could not put it down. He told his story with cancer in such a courageous, honest way. I just wished I´d been able to tell him how much I think he changed lives by writing this book. You were on his journey with him. A life well lived, Anthony.

Anthony and I were friends. he was in a show I produced in NY in the 80s. We stayed in touch and both dealt with cancer, he called me in mid June to say he knew he was dying. He was such a good guy, strong, smart, a lovely man and a fine actor. RIP old friend. we will miss you.

I just finished reading Anthony Herrera's book. He tells it all without sugar-coating anything. He certainly went through more in his lifetime than many of us, but, he did it with courage, hope, and dignity. I watched him on As the World Turns for years, and, his James Stenbeck was truly the one you loved to hate! Rest in Peace, Anthony. You will be missed.

I grew up watching Anthony on television. His work was a part of my life. I'm reading his book right now, and he was as brilliant as he was handsome. I admire him and his tenacity, and I appreciate that he left this important legacy to encourage others with cancer to keep going.
