Mr. Atkins paints an honest, vivid portrait of the mercurial Harry Dean Stanton, and his book is a great service to cinephiles, plugging one of the holes in the history of a crucial time in American film and giving this remarkable actor the respect he so richly deserves., A glorious meditation on and exploration of one of Hollywood's most fascinating characters. Native Southerner and veteran newspaperman Joseph B. Atkins is the perfect writer to track down the enigmatic Harry Dean Stanton. In a wild ride and a brilliant read filled with gems of wonderful humor and great sadness, we get as close as possible to the history behind those sad and soulful eyes known to so many., A wonderful and thoughtful tribute... Flawlessly written by veteran journalist Atkins and packed with juicy nuggets of cinema history, this one is essential reading for film fans., Deftly written, extraordinarily informative, and thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation., Atkins's well-researched, vivid prose brings to life one of Hollywood's most fascinating and overlooked actors. His book perfectly captures the madness, warmth, and beauty of Harry Dean Stanton's unique life and career., Actor Harry Dean Stanton finally gets the starring role in Joseph B. Atkins's comprehensively researched and beautifully written biography of the New Hollywood legend whose 'face was a story.' Stanton--who never gave anything but a 'natural' performance--gives his ultimate performance as a loner from Kentucky taking on (and earning the respect of) the biggest stars in the film and television business. The awed supporting cast includes Brando, Nicholson, Newman, McQueen., At long last, a comprehensive biography covering the personal and professional life of the much-missed Harry Dean Stanton (1926-2017), and it's a winner--so thorough and engaging that it can easily be knocked out in one sitting.

Synopsis
Harry Dean Stanton got his start in Hollywood in TV productions such as Zane Grey Theater and Gunsmoke. After a series of minor parts in forgettable Westerns, he gradually began to get film roles that showcased his laid-back acting style, appearing in Coal Hand Luke (1967), Kelly's Heroes (1970), The Godfather: Part II (1974), and Alien (1979). He became a headliner in the eighties-starring in Wim Wenders's moving Paris, Texas (1984) and Alex Cox's Repo Man (1984)-but it was his extraordinary skill as a character actor that established him as a revered cult figure and kept him in demand throughout his career. Joseph B. Atkins unwinds Stanton's enigmatic persona in the first biography of the man Vanity Fair memorialized as "the philosopher poet of character acting." He sheds light on Stanton's early life in West Irvine, Kentucky, the events that inspired him to drop out of college and pursue acting, and the brilliant career that followed. Atkins also explores Harry Dean Stanton as a Hollywood legend, following his years rooming with Jack Nicholson, partying with David Crosby and Mama Cass, jogging with Bob Dylon, and playing poker with John Huston. Drawing on interviews with the actor's friends, family, and colleagues, this much-needed book offers an unprecedented look at a beloved figure., Harry Dean Stanton (1926-2017) got his start in Hollywood in TV productions such as Zane Grey Theater and Gunsmoke .

Joseph B. Atkins unwinds Stanton's enigmatic persona in the first biography of the man Vanity Fair memorialized as "the philosopher poet of character acting." He sheds light on Stanton's early life in West Irvine, Kentucky, exploring his difficult relationship with his Baptist parents, his service in the Navy, and the events that inspired him to drop out of college and pursue acting. Atkins also chronicles Stanton's early years in California, describing how he honed his craft at the renowned Pasadena Playhouse before breaking into television and movies. In addition to examining the actor's acclaimed body of work, Atkins also explores Harry Dean Stanton as a Hollywood legend, following his years rooming with Jack Nicholson, partying with David Crosby and Mama Cass, jogging with Bob Dylan, and playing poker with John Huston. "HD Stanton" was scratched onto the wall of a jail cell in Easy Rider (1969) and painted on an exterior concrete wall in Drive, He Said (1971). Critic Roger Ebert so admired the actor that he suggested the "Stanton-Walsh Rule," which states that "no movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad." Harry Dean Stanton is often remembered for his crowd-pleasing roles in movies like Pretty in Pink (1986) or Escape from New York (1981), but this impassioned biography illuminates the entirety of his incredible sixty-year career. Drawing on interviews with the actor's friends, family, and colleagues, this much-needed book offers an unprecedented look at a beloved figure.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
