Book Description

August 1, 2008
The Complete Guide To All Things Walken
 
He’s been a dancer, a baker, a lion tamer, an award-winning actor, and a Hollywood legend. But Christopher Walken has never been the subject of a comprehensive biographical reference—until now.
 
Here at last is a complete A-to-Z guide to this one-of-a-kind performer, featuring entries on everything from the Actors Studio (the legendary theatrical workshop where Walken spent eleven years as a janitor) to Zombie Movies (one of Walken’s favorite film genres). Along the way, readers will discover:
 
     •  Acting secrets and behind-the-scenes trivia from each of Walken’s 100+ films—everything
        from Annie Hall to Hairspray and beyond.
     •  Recipes and kitchen tips from “Chef Walken”—including a look at his short-lived TV show,
        Cooking with Chris.
     •  Walken’s music videos for Madonna, Duran Duran, and Fatboy Slim.
     •  The secrets of maintaining his extraordinary hair.
     •  Observations and reminiscences from Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton,
        Woody Allen, Dennis Hopper, and countless others.
 
Plus more bizarre B movies and Saturday Night Live appearances than you can shake a cowbell at! Complete with fascinating trivia and dozens of photographs, Christopher Walken A to Z offers the definitive look at a pop culture phenomenon.

5.0 out of 5 stars The man, the myth, the legend, June 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Christopher Walken A to Z (Paperback)
What a character! I thought this was a biography type book when I bought it at my wife's request (she's a bigger Walken fan than I am), but it's not. More an encyclopedic A-Z reference than a read-through, it is still very entertaining and well-written.

I enjoyed learning all the obscure trivia and recommend it. It is a little on the small side, but the man more than makes up for it!

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars He is the MAN and this book proves it!, July 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Christopher Walken A to Z (Paperback)
This book is great for a run through of all of Walken's works, quirks and general life. He is an incredible actor, full of wit, wonder, true to himself, and also, has a full measure of mystery. Great read.
