Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
There's little debate that Robert De Niro is one of the greatest screen actors of his generation, perhaps of all time-if not, in fact, the greatest. His work, particularly in the first 20 years of his career, is unparalleled. Mean Streets, the Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver, the Deer Hunter, and Raging Bull all dazzled moviegoers and critics alike, displaying a talent the likes of which had rarely-if ever-been seen. De Niro become known for his deep involvement in his characters, assuming that role completely into his own life, resulting in extraordinary, chameleonic performances. Shawn Levy has written a truly engaging, insightful, and entertaining portrait of one of the most wonderful film artists of our time, a book that is worthy of such a great talent.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 769-811).
There's little debate that Robert De Niro is one of the greatest screen actors of his generation, perhaps of all time. His work -- Mean Streets, The Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull -- is unparalleled. Yet little is known about the off-screen De Niro. In an elegant and compelling biography that reads like a novel, Shawn Levy portrays Robert De Niro's transition from ambitious young man to enigmatic artist and cultural icon.
