Bogdanovich draws upon a lifetime of experience to write about the actors he came to know, actors he worked with, directed, befriended, and actors he admired from afar. Among them: Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, John Cassavetes, Charlie Chaplin, Montgomery Clift, Marlene Dietrich, Henry Fonda, Ben Gazzara, Audrey Hepburn, Boris Karloff, Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe, River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier, Frank Sinatra, and James Stewart.
Bogdanovich captures — in their words and his — their work, their individual styles, what made them who they were, what gave them their appeal, and why they've continued to be America's iconic actors.
