Albert Finney was once the screen's incarnation of the new British working-class hero. In the theatre, he was hailed as the new Olivier. Yet, instead of actively pursuing either image, he went his own way. This biography, attempts to probe the real man beneath the many masks of the actor, director, traveller, bon viveur and lover.

The Joy of Albert Finney,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Albert Finney in Character: A Biography (Hardcover)
This biography is as I expected: precise, light reading, as opposed to a psychological "tome." It covers this iconic actor mostly from a professional point of view, but also gives coverage of his personal involvements, starting from childhood. I would have liked more photographs, although the ones included were fine. My general impression is that Finney doesn't let anyone get too close to his "inner core," but has led a busy, productive life. I'm completely satisfied with this purchase.
