John Wayne: The Life and Legend Description
Review
“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.” (David Thomson, author of The New Biographical Dictionary of Film and Moments That Made the Movies)
“Drawing deeply on interviews with family and friends, acclaimed biographer Eyman colorfully chronicles Wayne’s life and work. . . . Compulsively readable.” (
Publishers Weekly (starred review))
"A fine show-biz biography, delivering what fans want about the star’s career but probing with uncommon depth into his personality.” (
Booklist)
