The Instant New York Times Bestseller The book is a beautiful trip. (New York Times Magazine) Soulful . . . Feels like hanging out within a history of American movies over the last 50 years. (Los Angeles Times) Startlingly cinematic. A fine memoir. (The Guardian) From one of the most iconic actors in the history of film, an astonishingly revelatory account of a creative life in full to the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. He landed his first leading role, in The Panic in Needle Park, in 1971, and by 1975, he had starred in four movies The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon that were not just successes but landmarks in the history of film. Those performances became legendary and changed his life forever. Not since Marlon Brando and James Dean in the late 1950s had an actor landed in the culture with such force. But Pacino was in his mid-thirties by then and had already lived several lives. A fixture of avant-garde theater in New York, he had led a bohemian existence, working odd jobs to support his craft. He was raised by a fiercely loving but mentally unwell mother and her parents after his father left them when he was young, but in a real sense he was raised by the streets of the South Bronx, and Al Pacino (Author). Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group. Publication Date: 10-15-2024. Page Count: 384. Hardcover. Movies & TV. 6.3 (w) x 9.3(h) x 1.4 (d). ISBN: 9780593655115
