Description
Behind the screen persona of a Hollywood legend lies a complex and conflicted individual. This biography sheds light on the life and career of Jean Arthur, a star of classic films such as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, who defied the conventions of the Hollywood publicity machine.
Through meticulous research and interviews with those who knew her, John Oller presents a nuanced portrait of a free spirit who remained elusive to the public eye. Arthur's perfectionism and remoteness from her costars on set led to her being labelled "difficult", but this biography reveals a unique and genuine eccentric.
With a warm and respectful approach, Oller captures the essence of a star who turned out to be a true original. This insightful analysis raises the curtain on the person behind the screen persona, offering a fascinating glimpse into the life of a Hollywood icon.
