Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR & RARE---------------CHARLES LAUGHTON:  AN INTIMATE BIOGRAPHY by Charles Higham, Introduction by Elsa Lanchester.

Few actors ever reach the amazing legacy of Charles Laughton. Known as one of the greatest actors of his time, Laughton created many memorable characterizations on stage and on film. Now Charles Higham reveals the human being behind the Laughton magic.

Higham leaves no stone unturned in tracing Laughton's life from his childhood, his early love of acting, his marriage to Elsa Lanchester and his emergence as one of the greatest actors. But behind the scenes there was a darker side to Laughton. It is revealed that Laughton was a man at war with himself, hating his own ugliness, he gave brilliant performances in roles that showed off his ugliness even more; friends of Laughton's knew his Jekyll/Hyde temperament, his struggle with homosexuality and his own unhappiness only too well.

Here is the remarkable story of a complex, moody, lovable man in all his triumphs and tragedies both as a man and as an actor.
