When actor Bruce Dern looks back over his film career, there are plenty of things he is glad to have done: working with Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman, and Jane Fonda, for example. The title, Things I've Said, But Probably Shouldn't Have, alludes to a few things he wishes he hadn't: like snubbing Woody Allen and turning down roles in “The Godfather” and “Gandhi.” His memoir describes the highs and the lows of a long career in Hollywood.
