Description
The Life and Inebriated Times of Burton, Harris, O'Toole and Reed This book tells the story of four of the greatest thespian boozers who ever walked - or staggered - off a film set into a pub. It's a story of drunken binges of near biblical proportions, parties and orgies, broken marriages, drugs, riots and wanton sexual conquests. The public loved them, and their extraordinary acting talent helped them get away with it. The book is a tale of excess and rebellion, of four men who lived life on their own terms and paid the price for their actions. From Richard Burton's infamous quotes to Peter O'Toole's candid views on booze, this book is a fascinating look at the lives of four of Hollywood's most notorious hellraisers. With its unique blend of biography, history, and behind-the-scenes stories, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the golden age of Hollywood and the men who made it famous.
