Good read. The book gives a good account of Dilip Kumar, not only as a brilliant actor, but as a superb human being, caring and loving and a true patriot. He has proper credentials to be awarded a Bharat Ratna as he has done so much for national integration in addition to surpassing his professional achievements for which he can easily be called an institution and a legend. The book helps know the man behind the actor. Recommended read.

I really enjoyed the actors. I found this to be something that could be reality.  The Power of God is working through an elderly/community active woman. A young man coming out of prison who just simply wants a chance at life. God hooked him up in the right place with the right people.

James Garner was a country boy rebel who was a natural actor. This biography brings to the forefront a full-blooded American actor who loved life, believed in justice, loved golf, loved cars and auto racing and who never backed down from a fight. We feel hi passion for love, children, civil rights and fair business through his many situations in life. I came away for an appreciation for a man who was what he appeared to be - a flawed but sensitive champion. I may not have agreed with his politics but I respect him for his passion. This is a very good biography.

Watching re-runs of Hogan's Heroes I got to wondering about Bob Crane. I thought he was a very good actor so I bought the book on Amazon purely as a matter of historic interest. It's a good book. There's a fair amount of detail especially about his life and work after Hogan. His muderer has never been identified and caught but there are a few theories about who was responsible. Personally, I go along with one of the theories that it was a revenge killing. Bob appeared to be a real ladies man and I guess someone got very jealous when Bob enjoyed a liaison with his wife or mistress.

If you are a Bob Crane fan you will enjoy this book due to the anecdotes about Bob and the details of his life. If you've never even heard of him, you probably won't be reading this review or the book anyway. The author has had to compile this book from insufficient facts and it is padded out a bit. But there is a lot of information here and it makes it a good read for fans of Bob Crane and Hogan's Heroes. Bob comes across as a really likeable man who always has time to chat with fans and people he meets. Perhaps he spoke once too often to the wrong person.

I like a sory where a man plays macho,but the womn don't let it happen. I like this story real well.the characters are good its hard to write and not tell the storyI don't want to give anything away. I always didn't like to read a story and than have someone tell me the story.the story was told well and somewhat mysterys. I think readers will like it and I recommend it.

Great actors played the parts (Spencer Tracy as Stanley). A lot of license was taken, but the faith and love of the men came through. If you read their biographies you still will not be disappointed.

I have always enjoyed Cary Grant and wanted to learn more about him as a person.  This book is very informative regarding Archie Leach (stage name Cary Grant) and how his career began.  It gies an in-depth synopsis of each of his films and how his acting blossomed throughout the years as he was able to decipiher what characters were best for him to play.  The book also revealed what a shrewd and competent business man the actor was, being the first actor ever to go independent without a major studio behind him.  He succeeded and became one of the wealthiest movie stars of all time.  Even though he had abundant assets, Cary Grant was not frivolous and invested well (again using his business acumen).  He was able to leave a substantial estate to his daughter, Jennifer Grant and his 5th wife, Barbara Harris Grant.

Jimmy Stewart is one of my favorite actors and I looked forward to reading this biography.  What I found was little trustworthy information about the man and lots of information about his work.  I was disappointed in the lack of info about his later years and about his family life but enjoyed the details about his work in movies.  This book made me want to see several Stewart films I have not seen but it failed to give me a very clear picture of the man himself.

Really enjoyed that it was non offensive with language and intimate  details.  Was also surprised to learn the writer is the son of a beloved very well known actor of the past. Only hope his stories continue in like manner.

Very good look at the actor. I was one of those who enjoyed Boyd even in Island in the Sun and Shalako. I freely admit to even enjoying his over the top performance in Genghis Khan. He was a presence you could not avoid. It was a shame Hollywood ignored his possibilities. Then again as author Joe Cushnan says it might also have been the actor himself.

Everything you'd want to know about this prolific character actor. As it says on the cover, when you finish watching, you'll know Dick!

He's the beautiful male Hollywood actor. She's the self made photographer. In a past life their paths crossed, now they find themselves in each other's way again. This time is different and it's both so good and so bad for the two of them.
I did not like him in the beginning but that changed pretty quickly. She was a different story. She slid into my heart from the start. Their characters are so easy to grow attached to, therefore its just as easy to feel their emotions. Great story!

The Game is not an instruction manual to pick up women.  If you want to learn techniques you will come across a few names and terms that can help.  I enjoyed this book but it is the story of a man who lived with some of the best pickup artist in the world.  It is interesting to see how he went from a frustrated man to a player once he recognized the game.  It is also interesting to see some of the best pickup artist in the world get trapped in this lifestyle and how it breaks them down.  There are pros and cons to every lifestyle there is.  Check this book out if you want to read a good story but if you want to learn techniques there are other books with more inf.

This is a thoughtful read about the life of a humble man.  Do not mistake it for the screenplay of a major motion picture, this is more biographic.

Exceedingly informative. Who knew there were so many nuances in this region? This is a very detailed learning tool that is a must for any actor who needs to learn this particular accent.
