Description

Basil Rathbone is the actor most closely associated with Sherlock Holmes, but few know the full story behind his remarkable life. In "The Curse of Sherlock Holmes", biographer David Clayton explores the behind-the-scenes world of a man who was defined by one iconic role. Before Holmes, Rathbone was a respected theatre actor, starring in Broadway plays such as "The Captive" and "The Swan". However, his career was forever changed by his portrayal of the detective. This book delves into the life of a talented individual who was reduced to a single role, and the consequences that followed. Celebrated biographer David Clayton sheds new light on the life of Basil Rathbone, a man who deserved more than to be remembered for one character.
