Belushi: A Biography

Belushi: A Biography

Belushi: A Biography is an epic oral history of beloved actor John Belushi, featuring over a hundred new interviews with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Robin Williams, Lorne Michaels, Chevy Chase, Christopher Guest, and many, many more. It follows John from his early blue-collar days in Chicago, to his apprenticeship with Del Close at Second City, to his watershed work at the National Lampoon, and on to the heights of fame in Saturday Night Live, Animal House and Blues Brothersâ€”all ultimately lost to the tragic downfall he could not escape.

More than just a portrait of a man, this book also offers an intimate look at the birth of the SNL generation, a group of unknown actors, writers and comedians who came together in the downtown comedy scene of New York City and, through one late-night television show and a handful of movies, changed the entertainment industry as we know it today. John's role as the ringleader and trailblazer in that revolution is now fully explored for the first time.
