Brian Aherne (1902–1986)

A biography of the actor George Sanders, written by his friend, the actor Brian Aherne. From the front flap: "In this intimate biography, [Aherne] takes us into the private life of an amazingly talented star whose unpredictable behavior and brash temperament often led the author to joke that he was 'a dreadful man,' but who was nonetheless capable of genuine kindness and compassion. [...] Aherne recalls Sanders' brief, stormy and often hilarious marriage to Zsa Zsa Gabor, his long and happy show more marriage to Benita Colman, his sad deterioration and tragic death. [...] In 1972, Broadway and movie actor George Sanders committed suicide at the age of 65 because, he wrote in a note he left, 'I am bored.'" show less
