A national symbol of romance since the 1970s, Redford's stardom has often eclipsed the life & trials of the man himself. In this biography -- written with Redford's personal papers, journals, script notes, correspondence, & hundreds of hours of taped interviews -- Michael Feeney Callan strips away the Hollywood facade, exposing the complicated, surprising man beneath. The life of Robert Redford is a series of contradictions: descended from impoverished East Coast barbers on his father's side & once-wealthy Texans on his mother's side, the young Redford suffered from aimlessness & semi-poverty, dropping out of college & briefly spending time in jail before launching a career in theatre. Redford has contributed more -- & more widely -- to entertainment than most stars of his calibre. As an actor, he's appeared on Broadway & film, with an Oscar-nominated performance in 1973's The Sting. As a director, he's earned Oscar nominations for Best Picture & Best Director & has received three Golden Globe nominations for Best Director. He won the Academy Award for Best Director in 1980 for Ordinary People. & as a producer of independent films -- including the patronage of his Sundance Institute -- he's worked on films including All the President's Men & 2004's The Motorcycle Diaries. This is a fascinating exploration of one of our most celebrated & least understood public figures, & an essential read for anyone interested in the rocky road to Hollywood. ...
