Peter O'Toole: Hellraiser, Sexual Outlaw, Irish Rebel (Blood Moon's Babylon Series) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Peter O’Toole shot to world stardom for his Oscar-nominated performance in David Lean’s four-hour epic, Lawrence of Arabia, following it with a life of legendary debauchery. Before his recent death in 2013, he generated seven additional Oscar nominations for other noteworthy films, a few of which were ridiculed or condemned. Born to a vagabond Irish bookie working the U.K.’s racetracks, O’Toole, in his early years, self-identified as a member of “the criminal class.” Later, he was hailed as one of the greatest stage actors in the world, the Crown Prince of the British Theater.With drinking buddies who included Richard Burton, O’Toole was the last of the dying breed of orgiastic hellraisers in the tradition of Errol Flynn. Offscreen, he starred in week-long binges and sex orgies of near-Biblical proportions, boozing and bedding strings of A-list celebrities. Some of his antics landed him in jail; others—those never fully explored by the police—were even more serious, and never fully exposed by the media. Until now. This illusion-shattering overview of Peter O’Toole’s hellraising life is unique in publishing, loaded with new information and celebrity exposés never before seen in print.
