Description

Cecil B. DeMille's life was as epic as his cinematic masterpieces. This authoritative biography presents a balanced account of a remarkably rich and complex life, moving beyond caricatures to reveal the real man behind the legend. DeMille's greatest successes came with biblical spectacles, such as The Ten Commandments and King of Kings, while he also played a significant role in discovering some of Hollywood's biggest stars. With access to DeMille's letters and personal papers, Scott Eyman offers a unique history of Hollywood's earliest years and the rediscovery of a major filmmaker. Eyman's biography settles for nothing less than the real man, providing a fresh perspective on a fascinating figure who had been making films for forty years before finally winning an Academy Award.
