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.
