Laird Cregar - A Hollywood Tragedy (Paperback)

In 1944, Laird Cregar played Jack the Ripper in The Lodger, giving
one of the most haunting performances in Hollywood history. It was
the climax of a strange celebrity that saw the young American
actor-who stood 6' 3" and weighed more than 300 pounds-earn
distinction as a portrayer of psychopaths and villains. Determined
to break free of this typecasting, he desperately desired to become
"a beautiful man," embarking on an extreme diet that killed him at
31. This first biography of Cregar tells the heartbreaking story of
the brilliant but doomed actor. Appendices cover his film, theatre,
and radio work. Many never before published photographs are
included.
