In this compulsively readable and constantly surprising book, Peter
Biskind, the author of the film classics Easy Riders, Raging Bulls
and Down and Dirty Pictures, writes the most intimate, revealing,
and balanced biography ever of Hollywood legend Warren Beatty.
Famously a playboy, Beatty has also been one of the most ambitious
and successful stars in Hollywood. Several Beatty films have passed
the test of time, from Bonnie and Clyde to Shampoo, Heaven Can
Wait, Reds (for which he won the best director Oscar), Bugsy, and
Bulworth. Few filmgoers realize that along with Orson Welles,
Beatty is the only person ever nominated for four Academy Awards
for a single film -- and unlike Welles, Beatty did it twice.
Biskind shows how Beatty used star power, commercial success,
savvy, and charm to bend Hollywood moguls to his will. Beatty's
private life has been the subject of gossip for decades, and Star
confirms his status as Hollywood's leading man in the bedroom,
describing his affairs with Joan Collins, Natalie Wood, Leslie
Caron and Madonna, among many others. Biskind explains how Beatty
exercised unique control, often hiring screenwriters out of his own
pocket, producing, directing, and acting in his own films. He was
arguably one of the most successful and creative figures in
Hollywood during the second half of the twentieth century, and in
this fascinating biography, Warren Beatty comes to life -- complete
with excesses and achievements -- as never before.
