James Stewart by Donald Dewey
An actor remembered for portraying relatively sympathetic and unassuming characters, James Stewart, in many ways, revolutionized the art form. The actor's seemingly easy charm belied great depth and complexity. Donald Dewey's study reveals both the man and the screen legend. With the co-operation of Stewart's family, this book provides an insight into the turmoil of the actor's private life and behind the earnest and endearing Capraesque image so often accepted as the Stewart identity. Dewey draws upon new and private insights into Stewart's personal life and professional career gathered from nearly 200 interviews with childhood neighbours, fellow workers, stage designers, old loves from Hollywood, airmen who flew with him during World War II, as well as close and estranged family members and friends. Donald Dewey is the author of Reasonable Doubts, which won the Nelson Agren Prize for Fiction, and also a biography of Marcello Mastroianni.| SKU | Unavailable |
