About This Item
London: Simon & Schuster, 1988. In this profound and insightful autobiography, Douglas paints a searing and unforgettable picture of an almost Dickensian childhood of brutal poverty - the background that has dominated his life as an actor, father and man, fueling the great creative anger that has added such depth in his performances. With moving insight, he shows how the determination to overcome that childhood and succeed on his own led him to take roles that most stars of his magnitude would never have risked - Van Gogh, in Lust for Life; Spartacus the slave; the courageous, conscience-stricken Colonel Dax in Paths of Glory; and the agonized boxer Midge, in Champion, to name a few. "Authentic, revealing, unselfconscious... his performance here is a star turn" (Publishers Weekly).
