I was genuinely delighted to know that a book was being written about Clifton Webb. What a pleasure it is to read this astounding account of a man my parents and I considered to be family.There has never been a truly proper replacement in movieland after Clifton left us. He could do everything and did it in a singular style that could never be repeated. Reading this book, I realized once again what an important part Clifton and Mabelle played in my life as a young man. He was a meticulous and devoted friend who called me a few days before he died to tell me he was going to leave me his favorite painting, a George Bellows oil portrait of Clifton as an aristocratic young man. It has always hung in my home.Richard D. Zanuck, "I was genuinely delighted to know that a book was being written about Clifton Webb.

Synopsis
More than any other male movie star, the refined Clifton Webb (1889-1966) caused the movie-going public to change its image of a leading man. In a day when leading men were supposed to be strong, virile, and brave, Clifton Webb projected an image of flip, acerbic arrogance. He was able to play everything from a decadent columnist (Laura) to a fertile father (Cheaper by the Dozen and The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker), delivering lines in an urbanely clipped, acidly dry manner with impeccable timing. Sitting Pretty is his remarkable story. Long before his film career began, Webb was a child actor and later a suavely effete song-and-dance man in numerous Broadway musicals and revues. The turning point in his career came in 1941 when his good friend Noël Coward cast him in Blithe Spirit. Director Otto Preminger saw Webb's performance and cast him in Laura in 1944. Webb began to write his autobiography, but he said that he eventually had gotten ""bogged down"" in the process. However, he did complete six chapters and left a hefty collection of notes that he intended to use in the proposed book. His writing is as witty and sophisticated as his onscreen persona. Those six chapters, information and voluminous notes, and personal research by the coauthor provide an intimate view of an amazingly talented man's life and times., More than any other male movie star, the refined Clifton Webb (1889-1966) caused the movie-going public to change its image of a leading man.

- m***a (266)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoThe book was in exactly the condition described in the listing. I generally don’t buy books that only have one photo.It was shipped quickly. The book arrived via Amazon box truck and was in Amazon packaging, so I assume this seller also lists books on Amazon. I wish I had known this as I am trying to not shop Amazon. I just think other buyers might want to know this. Still, the book was packed with care in a bubble envelope. Shipping costs were reasonable, but there was no tracking available.The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook by Macdonald (N° 187076052775)
