While many film fans may not be familiar with Bill Duke's name,
they most certainly recognize his face. Dating back to the 1970s,
Duke has appeared in a number of popular films, including Car Wash,
American Gigolo, Commando, Predator, and X-Men: The Last Stand.
Fewer still might be aware of Duke's extraordinary accomplishments
off-screen-as a talented director, producer, entrepreneur, and
humanitarian. Bill Duke: My 40-Year Career on Screen and behind the
Camera is the memoir of a Hollywood original. In an industry that
rarely embraces artists of color, Duke first achieved success as an
actor then turned to directing. After helming episodes of ratings
giants Dallas, Falcon Crest, Hill Street Blues, and Miami Vice,
Duke progressed to feature films like A Rage in Harlem, Deep Cover,
Hoodlum, and Sister Act 2. In this candid autobiography, Duke
recalls the loving but stern presence of his mother and father,
acting mentors like Olympia Dukakis, and the pitfalls that nearly
derailed his career, notably an addiction to drugs. Along the way,
readers will encounter familiar names like Danny Glover, Laurence
Fishburne, Forest Whitaker, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Whoopi
Goldberg. From his Broadway debut in 1971 to the establishment of
the Duke Media Foundation, which trains and mentors young
filmmakers, Duke has been breaking the rules of what it means to
triumph in the entertainment industry. Recalling pivotal moments in
his life, Bill Duke: My 40-Year Career on Screen and behind the
Camera is the story only Bill Duke could tell.
