Through interviews with close friends and colleagues, a biography of the talented, charismatic British-Irish actor who received eight Oscar nominations but no wins, discusses his dislike of authority, what drove him to extremes and why he drank so excessively for years. - Baker & Taylor
Through interviews with close friends and colleagues, a biography of the talented, charismatic British-Irish actor discusses his dislike of authority, what drove him to extremes, and why he drank so excessively for years. - McMillan Palgrave
Peter OâToole was supremely talented, a unique leading man and one of the most charismatic actors of his generation. Described by his friend Richard Burton as âthe most original actor to come out of Britain since the war,â OâToole was also unpredictable, with a dangerous edge he brought to his roles and to his real life.
With the help of exclusive interviews with colleagues and close friends, Robert Sellers' Peter OâToole: The Definitive Biography paints the first complete picture of this complex and much-loved man. The book reveals what drove him to extremes, why he drank to excess for many years and hated authority, but it also describes a man who was fiercely intelligent, with a great sense of humor and huge energy.
Giving full weight to his extraordinary career, this is an insightful, funny, and moving tribute to an iconic actor who made a monumental contribution to theater and cinema.
