Synopsis
Brando is perpetually fascinating, both for the power of the characters he portrayed and for his tumultuous personal life. Bestselling biographer Stefan Kanfer seamlessly intertwines the man and the work to give us the fullest and most illuminating appraisal yet. Kanfer takes us from Brandos troubled childhood to his arrival in New York in the 1940s, where he studied with the legendary Stella Adler and became, at age twentythree, the star of Broadway in A Streetcar Named Desire. He looks at each of Brandos films, offering a detailed analysis of his performances that shows the evolution of Brandos singular genius. He brings into focus Brandos selfdestructiveness, his ambivalence toward his craft, and the tragedies that shadowed his last years. What emerges is a definitive life of an iconic artist whose work forever altered the landscape of his craft.
