This now classic portrait of Douglas Fairbanks - the swashbuckling
original King of Hollywood - was first published in 1940. Long out
of print and hard to find, Alistair Cooke's posthumous biography
was the first serious consideration of the career of the great
silent screen star and husband of America's sweetheart, Mary
Pickford. Reissued here in a facsimile edition, Douglas Fairbanks:
The Making of a Screen Character treats, step by step, the course
of Fairbanks' career, and sheds light on the mysterious ingredients
of screen popularity and on the history of motion pictures
generally. Alistair Cooke, the distinguished journalist and
broadcaster, was assistant to Charlie Chaplin when he met Iris
Barry, MoMA's first film curator, in 1938. Barry invited Cooke to
participate in the Museum's groundbreaking film course at Columbia
University and commissioned him to write Douglas Fairbanks: The
Making of a Screen Character.
