A groundbreaking portrait of one of Hollywood's most successful stars, from critically acclaimed and bestselling biographer Marc Eliot. Douglas emerged from the long shadow cast by his movie-legend father, Kirk, to establish a reputation for producing and starring in hugely successful movies. While cultivating a multifaceted action persona, his personal life floundered amid a series of tragedies, until Douglas emerged triumphant. Eliot shows how Douglas' life and work broke boundaries.
