Andrew Yule Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Diese Biografie untersucht das Leben des erfolgreichsten Filmemachers der Geschichte. Spielberg hat Jaws, Begegnung der dritten Art, E.T., Jurassic Park, Schindlers Liste und die Indiana-Jones-Trilogie inszeniert. Beginnend mit seiner unglücklichen Jugend erforscht dieses Werk seinen Weg zu Ruhm, Reichtum und Macht, durch rücksichtsloses Geschäftemachen, zwei Ehen, den tragischen Tod zweier Kinder und eines Schauspielers, der am Set von The Twilight Zone ums Leben kam, sowie den millionenschweren Rechtsstreit mit Denis Hoffman.

One of America's most fascinating superstars, Al Pacino is also one of its most complex, enigmatic personalities, whose private life has been cloaked in mystery- until now. Whilst his astonishing performaces have established him as one of the greatest actors of our time, Andrew Yule reveals that he has spent most of his life at war with himself. A traumatic childhood, years of grinding poverty and an inability to sustain relationships with, amongst others, Jill Calyburgh, Tuesday Weld and Diane Keaton have lead to a turbulent, unstable private life- a life nearly destroyed by an apparently hopeless alcohol addiction. International success after The Godfather only served to intensify the crushing personal pressures on Pacino, and he has since had to live with some of the worst career moves in the history of Hollywood. Combining intensive research with extraordinarily frank interviews with Pacino's closest friends and associates, Andrew Yule strips away the wall of secrecy behind which the reclusive star has hidden and paints a startlingly intimate portrait of a truly remarkable personality.
