Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Romy Schneider died in Paris on May 29, 1982 - the most adored European actress of her generation. Her life began as a Viennese fairytale in the 1950s with Sissi, and ended in tragedy nearly thirty years later. What unfolded in between was one of cinema's most dazzling, heartbreaking journeys.Crowned a screen princess before she turned fifteen, Romy sparked a frenzy not seen since Shirley Temple. A move to France and a fateful meeting with Alain Delon launched her second act - bold, complex, unforgettable.She worked with giants: Orson Welles, Otto Preminger, Joseph Losey. But it was with European auteurs - Claude Sautet, Andrej Zulawski, Jacques Rouffio - that she found her soul.Her private life mirrored her roles: intense, fragile, often tragic. The death of her son shattered her. Yet through it all, she remained incandescent - a woman who gave everything to the screen and left behind a legacy of raw, luminous truth.In this first English-language biography, Marlon Thayne draws from extensive archives to reveal the full scope of Schneider's sublime and tragic destiny. From her breakout in German and French cinema to her Hollywood turns in The Cardinal, Good Neighbor Sam, and What's New Pussycat?, Schneider's career spanned continents and genres, marked always by emotional depth and magnetic presence.More than a chronicle of a career, this is the story of a woman who lived with intensity, loved with abandon, and left behind a legacy that still burns bright.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Master of the Macabre vividly chronicles the remarkable journey of Donald Pleasence, a young man from the north of England who rose to become one of the 20th century's most beloved character actors. With his famously unblinking eyes and a remarkable talent for understatement, Pleasence captivated audiences, often portraying villains and psychopaths-from Dr. Crippen to the notorious Blofeld in the James Bond classic You Only Live Twice ("I shall look forward personally to exterminating you, Mr. Bond"). A true maestro of the sinister, bizarre, and quirky, Pleasence's extensive filmography includes iconic roles in The Great Escape, Soldier Blue, The Eagle Has Landed, and the Halloween series. He also gave a memorable performance as the tramp in Harold Pinter's The Caretaker, both on stage and screen. In this first biography of Pleasence, Marlon Thayne takes readers on an enthralling journey through the actor's life. From his happy childhood in a working-class family to years of struggle in repertory theatre, his harrowing experience as a prisoner of war in Germany, and ultimately his triumphant success on stage, television, and screen-this book offers a comprehensive and engaging look at the life of a truly mesmerizing talent.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Donald Sutherland was a film star of the sort they don't make anymore. In this richly colorful portrait, Marlon Thayne provides the first full biography of the man, the actor and his films.Never an old-fashioned matinee-idol, he cut his teeth in M.A.S.H., Klute and The Day of the Locust, but hardly conformed to the traditional image of the heartthrob. However, as the creator of some of the most sinister and sympathetic roles on screen, his career spanned over 100 films and countless TV roles. This enthralling biography follows him from his childhood in Canada to his climactic assumption as one of Hollywood's most versatile performers.Spanning decades, A Life on Screen covers the best of Sutherland's oeuvre, films that have fast become cinema classics: Kelly's Heroes, The Eagle Has Landed, Klute, The Eye of the Needle, Casanova, JFK, The Hunger Games, and Space Cowboys.Sutherland's other notable films include Alex in Wonderland, Klute, Johnny Got His Gun, Don't Look Now, National Lampoon's Animal House, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Ordinary People, Eye of the Needle, Six Degrees of Separation, Citizen X, and Uprising.Along the way we meet a galaxy of screen greats - from Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Franco Fellini, Robert Redford and Gene Wilder to Michael Caine, Clint Eastwood and Jane Fonda.In this fascinating biography, we discover a hugely talented and intelligent man - a true legend in his own lifetime who never failed to deliver a solid performance.Filled with remarkable insights, Thayne's portrait is a fitting tribute to one of Hollywood's greatest actors.…
