Garry O'Connor, highly respected for his theatrical biographies, presents a richly drawn, fully dimensional portrait of the great actor Paul Scofield. He interviewed the intensely private Scofield himself, as well asmany of the actors and directors he has worked with, including Simon Ca llow, Trevor Nunn, Richard Eyre and Peter Hall. The result is a masterlybiography that paints a revealing portrait of a man who, for the seriou s film and theatre-goer, is more of an icon than any other living actor.
