Summary:
James Gandolfini: The Real Life of the Man Who Made Tony Soprano is the first biography of the actor, who died in June 2013 at age fifty-one, widely recognized as one of the best--and most defining--actors of his generation. The book is informed with fresh interviews with Sopranos actors, HBO executives, the star's acting teachers and coaches, his childhood friends, buddies from his days as a nightclub bouncer, and Hollywood figures, including the directors of his posthumously released films. Dan Bischoff decodes Gandolfini's portrayal of mobsters and bad guys from his breakout role in True Romance with Patricia Arquette to the series role that made his career, including his portrayals of real people like Leon Panetta in Zero Dark Thirty. Accounts of Gandolfini's personal life--from his marriages and family interactions to his deep friendships with his fellow cast members--enrich and enliven this book, and deepen our understanding of the star. James Gandolfini: The Real Life of the Man Who Made Tony Soprano is a fascinating look at Gandolfini's complicated relationship to his roots, to the role that made him wealthy beyond his imagination, and to American notions of masculinity, power, and fame. Even as he scaled the heights of his profession, creating a character as volcanic as Marlon Brando's Stanley Kowalski, Gandolfini remained a reluctant celebrity, dedicated more to his craft than to his career. Bischoff delivers a textured, multilayered portrait of the on- and offscreen life of a complex, talented man who rose from an Italian immigrant family in northern New Jersey to join the ranks of America's most iconic actors.
