Description
In American Rebel, bestselling author and acclaimed film historian Marc Eliot examines the ever-exciting, often-tumultuous arc of Clint Eastwood s life and career.
As a Hollywood icon, Clint Eastwood–one of film s greatest living legends–represents some of the finest cinematic achievements in the history of American cinema. Eliot writes with unflinching candor about Eastwood s highs and lows, his artistic successes and failures, and the fascinating, complex relationship between his life and his craft. Eliot s prodigious research reveals how a college dropout and unambitious playboy rose to fame as Hollywood s sexy rebel, eventually and against all odds becoming a star in the Academy pantheon as a multiple Oscar winner. Spanning decades, American Rebel covers the best of Eastwood s oeuvre, films that have fast become American classics: Fistful of Dollars, Dirty Harry, Unforgiven, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, and Gran Torino.
Filled with remarkable insights into Eastwood s personal life and public work, American Rebel is highly entertaining and the most complete biography of one of Hollywood s truly respected and beloved stars–an actor who, despite being the Man with No Name, has left his indelible mark on the world of motion pictures.
