In Part III of Milt Kogan's autobiography entitled Actor/Doctor, he tells of his life following his service in Africa. His disillusionment upon coming back to America was expected, as was the adjustment back to a life of relative affluence and motivation to obtain the better things in life. But, Kogan continued to struggle with his dedication to his medical background versus his attraction toward the excitement and glamour of the acting profession. Being divorced, he faced the dilemma of how best to influence his children and, when faced with the opportunity to go to Montana, he immediately decides that such a move just might be the means to reconnect with his two children. In the meantime, he receives devastating news from his father which further spurs him on to build a strong family relationship.
Kogan's life is somewhat of an enigma in that he had ongoing casual sexual relationships which only further motivated him to find a life partner. Bouncing between serving humankind and engaging in attention-getting behaviors, he stumbles across what he had been seeking for years. A move to South Dakota helps him to fit in another piece of his puzzle of life. And then, at about the time most people think about retirement, the Actor/Doctor story takes another turn and readers will certainly appreciate Kogan's never-a-dull-moment decision to stay in touch with an ever-changing world. This book is a wonderful study about how many humans struggle with the issue of responsibility and pleasing versus the need to actualize the self. It is an easy read and one which is well worth the soul-searching thoughts it will undoubtedly inspire in the reader.
