Book Review: Behaving Badly: A Life of Richard Harris
Summary: 2 Stars
I found book to be EVASIVE with details of Harris's life. Not very detailed and while reading, all of a sudden there is information in a chapter that you didnot read about previously and is entered as if you did. Just to brief, not enough detail about him and his background and what the reasons were for the issues that he seemed to have during his career and his life. Not enough on early childhood. Read book through only cause I love Harris and any information on him I must devour. Book on a good day is rated a 2.
Summary of Behaving Badly: A Life of Richard Harris
Richard Harris was never an easy person to get along with. He was a difficult schoolboy (and was later disowned by his Limerick teachers), then he went to work in the family flour and milling business - where he organised a strike against his father. It was as a gifted and compelling actor that Richard Harris dominated stage and screen for more than four decades. He was nominated for an Oscar twice: for his earthy portrayal of a rugby player in This Sporting Life and as a dominant and bullish Irish farmer in The Field. More recently he delivered gripping screen performances in Gladiator and two Harry Potter films. But it was his violent, drunken, womanising private life that fed the public myth and made Harris, one of a new breed of rogue male actors, an international celebrity. Married and divorced twice, with three sons - two actors, one a film director - he claimed the only time he had been miscast was as a husband. His lovers included legends such as Merle Oberon, Sophia Loren, Ava Gardner and Vanessa Redgrave.Performing Arts Books
