a career lasting twenty years........

[minnie2007]

If I want to write that an actor, in his autobiographical book, tells about his own experiences and these are the experiences had during his career which started twenty year ago....so it is a twenty years' career is it correct to say:


He tells about himself and (about) the world he has known during twenty years of success.

thanks thanks thanks and also more than thanks

Only if he was successful from his very first performance. You could say "during twenty years of growing success".

Another doubt. Is it fine to say:

together they go over Kelly's twenty year career..............

?

THANKS
