    Paul Newman ist einer der führenden Charakterdarsteller des internationalen Films. Er spielt einen eiskalten Westernhelden genauso überzeugend wie einen aufsässigen Strafgefangenen oder einen stürmischen Liebhaber. In vielen Filmen ist er der mutige Außenseiter, der sich gegen eine bestehende Ordnung auflehnt. In seinem reich bebilderten Buch bespricht Michael Kerbel das Leben und alle Filme des bekannten und beliebten Stars.

    Gregory Peck ist einer der ganz großen Darsteller von Hollywood. Er spielte harte Revolvermänner, rauhe Kriegshelden und unerschrockene Seefahrer, vermittelte aber in jeder Rolle einen Hauch von Wärme und Güte. In "To Kill a Mockingbird" ("Wer die Nachtigall stört") zog er alle Register seines meisterlichen Könnens. Tony Thomas gibt in seinem reich bebilderten Buch einen Überblick über die Karriere des bekannten Künstlers.
