Al Pacino : A Life on the Wire' by Andrew Yule Warner Books 1992, softcover, 385 pages, photographs. In good condition, all pages clean.

"The name conjures up images of glamour and violence: Michael Corleone of the Godfather; Serpico, the renegade cop; and Tony Montana, the vicious gangster better known as "Scarface".

Andrew Yule, the critically-acclaimed biographer of Sean Connery and David Puttnam (Fast Fade) was given exclusive access to Pacino's friends and associates, making this the only authoritative biography of one of the most volatile and brilliant actors of our time. Includes many rare photos of Pacino and the women he has loved - on and off screen!"

"As one of America's most revered contemporary actors, Pacino is a dichotomy: acting in several disastrous films yet part of some of Hollywood's biggest successes; suffering from alcoholism yet possessing the ability to play roles of control; achieving his own star status yet constantly being confused with Dustin Hoffman.

Author Yule takes the insider's view in writing this biography. He chronicles Pacino's life, from his penurious childhood through the much-publicized Godfather III filming, relying on conversations with the actor's manager, acting teacher, closest friends, former lovers (including Jill Clayburgh and Diane Keaton), and Pacino himself.

A interesting and entertaining work on a fascinating dramatic and artistic life." ~Library Journal

"Great book about a great actor. As a lifelong fan on Al Pacino, I purchased this book and could not put it down. It gives you private insight into a very private man and details the trials that he endured to get to where he is now. A must have for any Pacino fan!" ~Amazon
