Sobre este artículo
Back Stage Books, 2006. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. During the 1950s and '60s, no actress dazzled Broadway like Kim Stanley. She was acclaimed the greatest actress of a generation that included Julie Harries, Geraldine Page, and Anne Bancroft. Scandals shadowed her. And theatergoers couldn't get enough of this Method-inspired performer from the Actors Studio. Then, after fifteen years of of stardom, this extraordinary actresswalked away from the theater never to return, embarking on a long Garbo-like odyssey of mystery and reclusiveness. What happened? FEMALE BRANDO answers that question with a meticulously researched, empathetic biography that tells all--not only about her colorful and cautionary personal life, but about her unrivaled theatrical brillance and what became of this stage legend when the house lights went dark. "If not for her demons, Kim Stanley would have been the greatest actress in America." (Arthur Laurents. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographs. Fine first edition, first printing in black cloth boards (new unread copy but with small bump to upper gutter channel) in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket. 376 pp, with Index.[Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] A93
