Somebody: The Reckless Life and Remarkable Career of Marlon Brando
- Used Book in Good Condition
Stefan Kanfer, acclaimed biographer of Lucille Ball and Groucho Marx, now gives us the definitive life of Marlon Brando, seamlessly intertwining the man and the work to give us a stunning and illuminating appraisal. Beginning with Brandoâ€™s turbulent childhood, Kanfer follows him to New York where he made his star-making Broadway debut as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire at age twenty-three. Brando then decamped for Hollywood, and Kanfer looks at each of Brandoâ€™s films over the yearsâ€”from The Men in 1950 to The Score in 2001â€”offering deft and insightful analysis of his sometimes brilliant, sometimes baffling performances. And, finally, Kanfer brings into focus Brandoâ€™s self-destructiveness, ambivalence toward his craft, and the tragedies that shadowed his last years.
