Description de l'ouvrage:
The legacy of silver screen tycoon Samuel Goldwyn comes to vivid life in this acclaimed biography from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author of Wilson, Lindbergh, and Max Perkins: Editor of Genius.

He was the premier dream-maker of his era—a fierce independent force in a time when studios ruled. He was a producer of silver-screen sagas who may have been, in the words of Harper's Bazaar, “the last Hollywood tycoon.” In this riveting book, biographer A. Scott Berg tells the life story of Samuel Goldwyn, as rich with drama as any feature-length epic, and as compelling as the history of Hollywood itself.

À propos de l'auteur :
A. Scott Berg is the author of Wilson and four previous bestselling biographies: Max Perkins: Editor of Genius (1978) winner of the National Book Award; Goldwyn, for which he received a Guggenheim Fellowship; Lindbergh, winner of the Pulitzer Prize; and Kate Remembered, his biographical memoir of Katharine Hepburn. Berg lives in Los Angeles.

Revue de Presse:
"This story of a grabby, imaginative man would make a more telling movie about America than Goldwyn ever produced himself."—The New York Times Book Review

"Moving, funny, compassionate and richly entertaining...The book proves worthy of what would be, in context, the highest praise of all: It has The Goldwyn Touch."—The Washington Post Book World

"Fascinating...Behind-the-scenes stories any tabloid would lunge at, a fabulous feeling for history, and most of all, a brilliant account of a very complicated man."—Cosmopolitan
