Robert Altman--visionary director, hard-partying hedonist,
eccentric family man, Hollywood legend--comes roaring to life in
this rollicking oral biography. After an all-American boyhood in
Kansas City, a stint flying bombers in World War II, and jobs
ranging from dog tattoo entrepreneur to television director, Robert
Altman burst onto the scene in 1970 with "M*A*S*H." He reinvented
American filmmaking, and went on to produce such masterpieces as
"McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Nashville," "The Player, Short Cuts, "
and "Gosford Park." In "Robert Altman," Mitchell Zuckoff has woven
together Altman's final interviews; an incredible cast of voices
including Meryl Streep, Warren Beatty, Paul Newman, among scores of
others; and contemporary reviews and news accounts into a riveting
tale of an extraordinary life.
