- Sonny boy : a memoir / by Pacino, Al,1940-author.;
"From one of the most iconic actors in the history of film, an astonishingly revelatory account of a creative life in full. To the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. He landed his first leading role in The Panic in Needle Park in 1971, and by 1975, he had starred in four movies -- The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon -- that were not just successes but landmarks in the history of film. Those performances became legendary and changed his life forever. Not since Marlon Brando and James Dean in the late 1950s had an actor landed in the culture with such force. But Pacino was in his mid-thirties by then and had already lived several lives. A fixture of avant-garde theater in New York, he had led a bohemian existence, working odd jobs to support his craft. He was raised by a fiercely loving but mentally unwell mother and her parents after his father left them when Pacino was a boy. In a real sense he was raised by the streets of the South Bronx and by the troop of buccaneering young friends he ran with, whose spirits never left him. After a teacher recognized his acting promise and pushed him toward New York's fabled High School of Performing Arts, the die was cast. In good times and in bad, in poverty and in wealth, through pain and through joy, acting was his lifeline, its community his tribe. Sonny Boy is the memoir of a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide. All the great roles, the essential collaborations, and the important relationships are given their full due, as is the vexed marriage between creativity and commerce at the highest levels. The book's golden thread, however, is the spirit of love and purpose. Love can fail you, and you can be defeated in your ambitions -- the same lights that shine bright can also dim. But Al Pacino was lucky enough to fall deeply in love with a craft before he had the foggiest idea of any of its earthly rewards, and he never fell out of love. That has made all the difference"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Pacino, Al, 1940-; Actors; Motion picture actors and actresses;

- Atomic people [videorecording] / by Inman, Megumi,television producer,television director.; Sanderson, Benedict,television director.; PBS Distribution (Firm),publisher.; Public Broadcasting Service (U.S.),production company,broadcaster.;
The dropping of atomic bombs on two Japanese cities Hiroshima, on August 6, 1945, and Nagasaki, three days later, was one of the most momentous and destructive moments in world history. The bomb known as 'Little Boy' that decimated Hiroshima was 2,000 times more powerful than any bomb before, instantly killing approximately 80,000 of the city's 350,000 residents. By the end of the year, the death toll would rise to 140,000 as initial survivors succumbed to illnesses connected to radiation exposure. In Nagasaki, where approximately 40,000 were killed instantly, the number would rise to 74,000 by the end of the year. Now, eighty years later, this unique award-winning film gathers the testimony of some of the last 'Hibakusha' survivors of the two atomic bombs before their voices are lost forever. With an average age of 85, most Hibakusha were children when the bombs were dropped. Combining their personal accounts with archive footage, Atomic People feature a significant number of voices from this shrinking group, the only people left on Earth to have survived a nuclear bomb while exploring how their experiences continue to affect them to this day.E.Closed-captioned for the hearing impairedSubtitled for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH)DVD ; wide screen presentation ; stereophonic.- Subjects: Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Nonfiction television programs.; Documentary television programs.; Historical television programs.; Atomic bomb victims; World War, 1939-1945; World War, 1939-1945; World War, 1939-1945; Atomic bomb; Radioactive fallout;
