Description

Robert Mitchum: A Life of Rebel Cool Robert Mitchum was a Hollywood icon whose on-screen persona was matched only by his real-life exploits. A hobo in the Depression, he turned to movie acting after stints as a boxer and songwriter. Despite early successes, he was busted on a narcotics rap, but prison only fueled his taste for living life on the wild side. Mitchum's life was a series of contradictions - a tough guy with a soulful gaze, a laconic style that belied a complex and often troubled personality. This book offers a detailed and engaging portrait of a man who redefined cinematic cool, and whose real-life story is just as compelling as his on-screen performances. Lee Server's biography is the definitive account of Robert Mitchum's life, a true story of a man who lived life on his own terms.
