About this product
Product Information
The New York Times bestselling biography of John Wayne: "authoritative and enormously engaging...Eyman takes you through Wayne's life, his death, and his legend in a detailed, remarkably knowledgeable yet extremely readable way" (Peter Bogdanovich, The New York Times Book Review ). John Wayne died more than thirty years ago, but he remains one of today's five favorite movie stars. The celebrated Hollywood icon comes fully to life in this complex portrait by noted film historian and master biographer Scott Eyman. Exploring Wayne's early life with a difficult mother and a feckless father, "Eyman gets at the details that the bean-counters and myth-spinners miss...Wayne's intimates have told things here that they've never told anyone else" ( Los Angeles Times ). Eyman makes startling connections to Wayne's later days as an anti-Communist conservative, his stormy marriages to Latina women, and his notorious--and surprisingly long-lived--passionate affair with Marlene Dietrich. He also draws on the actor's own business records and, of course, his storied film career. "We all think we know John Wayne, in part because he seemed to be playing himself in movie after movie. Yet as Eyman carefully lays out, 'John Wayne' was an invention, a persona created layer by layer by an ambitious young actor" ( The Washington Post ). This is the most nuanced and sympathetic portrait available of the man who became a symbol of his country at mid-century, a cultural icon and quintessential American male against whom other screen heroes are still compared.

Reviews
[An] exemplary biography. . . . Eyman appears to have had broad access to Wayne's business and family life, and the result is a book with a compelling claim to being definitive., In comprehensive detail, this new biography chronicles a great star at work. . . . Like a cinematographer, Mr. Eyman offers readers Wayne from many angles, in his own words and the words of those who worked with him. . . . An engrossing record of how the Duke stayed top dog for so long., A spirited portrait of John Wayne and the Hollywood he worked in. . . . Traces his transition from the eager, boyish roles he played in early movies to confident leading man., It would be hard to find a more complete picture of a public figure's life and legend than Eyman gives us of the Duke., No Wayne biography until now has ridden the defile between the reverential and the tendentious with quite the graceful equilibrium of this one. . . . Eyman gets at the details that the bean-counters and myth-spinners miss. . . . Wayne's intimates have told Eyman things here that they've never told anyone else., Eyman's exhaustively informative biography is, in essence, a tribute. One ends it liking Duke a lot more., We all think we know John Wayne, in part because he seemed to be playing himself in movie after movie. Yet as Eyman carefully lays out, 'John Wayne' was an invention, a persona created layer by layer by an ambitious young actor., Full of historical detail and fan facts, John Wayne tracks shy Marion Robert Morrison's path to the screen hero who got scant credit for his own craft in creating the John Wayne that rallied audiences., [An] authoritative and enormously engaging new biography. . . . [Eyman] takes you through Wayne's life, his death and his legend in a detailed, remarkably knowledgeable yet extremely readable way., Scott Eyman has taken a legend and a statue and given us an odd, decent, muddled but deeply likeable man. That's what makes this book so readable and so touching., A comprehensive and compelling examination of The Duke. . . . Insightful, exhaustive and engrossing--a definitive portrait of the man and the legend., [A] splendid biography of Hollywood's most enduring movie star. . . . Eyman offers perceptive views of Wayne's many films and a wagon's worth of revealing and entertaining anecdotes. If you think you know John Wayne, you'll know him even better as a movie star - and appreciate him even more as a person-after reading John Wayne: The Life and Legend., A comprehensive and compelling examination of The Duke. . . . Insightful, exhaustive and engrossing-a definitive portrait of the man and the legend., Drawing deeply on interviews with family and friends, acclaimed biographer Eyman colorfully chronicles Wayne's life and work. . . . Compulsively readable.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
