  A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Richard Schickel is the author, co-author, or editor of thirty-six books and the writer-director-producer of a similar number of television documentaries. Most of his work concerns filmmakers and film history.

  Among his best-known books are Elia Kazan: A Biography, D. W. Griffith: An American Life, Clint Eastwood: A Biography, The Disney Version, Brando: A Life in Our Times, Intimate Strangers: The Culture of Celebrity, His Picture in the Papers, and his memoir, Good Morning, Mr. Zip Zip Zip.

  His films include the epic five-hour history of Warner Bros., You Must Remember This, as well as Charlie: The Art and Life of Charles Chaplin and, most recently, The Eastwood Factor. He has also made twenty profiles of the major American directors, including Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks, Elia Kazan, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg. His reconstruction of Sam Fuller’s The Big Red One, which restored forty-five lost minutes to the film, won many awards when it was released in 2004.

  A film critic for Life and Time magazines for forty-three years, Mr. Schickel has held a Guggenheim Fellowship and was awarded an honorary degree by the American Film Institute. He has won the British Film Institute Book Prize, the Maurice Bessy Award in film criticism, the William K. Everson Award from the National Board of Review, and the Telluride Silver Medal, the latter two for his contributions to film history. He lives in Los Angeles.
