New York: St Martins Pr, 1985. -----Blue cloth with silver lettering on spine, 248 pages plus 27 pages of b & w photos, ink name on title page, dust jackt is in Near Fine condition. "William Powell is best remembered for his protrayal of Nick Charles, the diapper gentleman detective in The Thin Man, yet during a career of more than forty years he successfully portrayed an unusually wide range of characters on the stage and screen. Gentleman: The William Powell Story captures the grace and unique style of the man who starred in such great films as My Man Godfrey, Life with Father, and Mister Roberts. By the prevailing movie star standards, Bill Powell was not an impeccably handsome man. When the movie moguls first decided to make him a screen lover, he publicly ridiculed the idea. But he brought a touch of tongue-in-cheek class to romantic roles that was distinctly his own. And, along the way, he wooed and won two of the most glamorous blonde stars the movies have ever produced: Carole Lombared, whom he married, divorced and continued to date, and Jean Harlow, whos tragic death occurred before she could become the next Mrs. Powell."
