Few actors achieve in their lifetime what Sir Ian McKellen has. A
repertoire of vast commercial success coupled with critically
acclaimed and authoritative Shakespearian roles. A man whose
gargantuan personality and varied achievements inspire both
admiration and affection. McKellen has been feted and admired in
every country across the globe, and has been knighted by, and
received the Companionship of Honour from Queen Elizabeth II. He is
an icon of, and ardent campaigner in, the cause for LGBT rights.
Many of us know of McKellen through his depiction of Gandalf in
Lord of the Rings. Garry O'Connor's definitive biography reveals
the man behind McKellen the actor. The inside story of the person
himself: a constantly developing drama and a work in progress. Yet
Garry O'Connor pulls no punches: some of his revelations may be
controversial to his fans, even explosive, given McKellen's
constant ability to shock and surprise. The author has himself
directed for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and directed McKellen
in some of his very first roles. This is an unflinching, yet deeply
intimate and affectionate, biography that, like McKellen himself,
will stand the test of time as a rounded and complete portrait of
one of the most unusual geniuses of our times.
