Warren Beatty: A Private Man

Enjoyed The Read

I really enjoyed reading about Warren Beatty's rise to stardom. Of particulat interest was his early years in New York and the help he received from Acting Coach Ned Manderino. The book was a little slow getting started and does get bogged down a little in the beginning with the family history. Once you get past that, it's very enjoyable.

Warren Beatty: A Private Man

This book is comprehensive because it includes accounts from the people intimately involved -- costars, directors, writers, etc -- with Beatty's films. Fascinating is the author's insight presenting the genesis of each of Beatty's films, their surprises and connections to his mother, father, aunt,and uncle. The early and formative years of Beatty's life influenced the content and story of his films and deeply acquaint the reader with a 20th and 21st Century icon.

Warren Beatty: A Private Man

This book is one of impressive creative scholarship. Finstad leaves no stone unturned in search of the mind and soul of Warren Beatty. The first 100 pages or so are important clues in this psychlogical and almost tragic drama. If you are prone to wishing to know about his career in New York and Hollywood, start reading on about page 133 and refer back to the rewarding early pages you skipped earlier. Brilliant Beatty is revealed right down to his bones.
