Publisher Description
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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
``This comprehensive, amusing account of Goldwyn's private life and lengthy career as a Hollywood studio head depicts an often unscrupulous businessman, gambler, woman-chaser and inadequate father,'' wrote PW . ``This is a thoroughly engrossing book about an unadmirable man.'' Photos.
