SHOCKING - TRAGIC - DEFINITIVE.From his childhood as the son of alcoholic,philandering parents,through his wild days in the 1950's and 1960's as the most feted screen actor in the world,to his recent [then 1994] public battering when his oldest son killed his favourite daughter's boyfriend,Marlon Brando has lived a life beset by personal demons.Behind the myth and the barbed wire,beneath his immense fame and fortune,he is a troubled man,known intimately by only a few. In this book,for the first time Brando is unveiled,from the height of his extraordinary talent to the depths of his despair:his sexual compulsions, the endless years of psychotherapy,the recurrent eating disorders, his notorious psychological manipulations,the girlfriends who have attempted suicide,the love/hate relationships with his children,his sporadic involvement in radical politics,and his controversial seclusion in Tahiti - the idyll that turned into a nightmare. Peter Manso's biography contains the secrets that Brando himself has never told.For a life marked by evasion,self-delusion and indulgence of every kind,this book is the last word.See also rja1723.
