3.0 out of 5 stars A Little is Better Than None At All, June 23, 2008

By	Stephen L. Broker - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Richardson proves to be a maddeningly elusive subject, for most of the book. But the last few bits are worth it. The Everyman actor who became his characters, there's got to be a better bio out there, but this one is satisfactory enough.
