Non-Fiction Biography
Since winning the 1991 Best Actor Oscar for his
performance in The Silence of the Lambs, Sir Anthony
Hopkins has twice reprised his chilling role as the
memorably monstrous Dr Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter, who
was recently voted the greatest screen villain of all time. He enjoyed early success in The Lion in Winter, and his
compelling characters in films such as The Remains Of The
Day, Shadowlands, Howards End, Nixon, The Mask of Zorro,
Amistad and Titus have established the Welsh-born actor's
magnetic presence and a dangerous vitality -- outside his
role as Lecter. But alcoholism came close to wrecking his
enviable career on stage and screen: only by a massive
effort of will has Hopkins, now in his 60s, overcome his
demons and reformed his life. Including contributions from
Hopkins and many of those who know and have worked with
him, this definitive biography has been updated to include
his latest work in Hannibal, Red Dragon and The Human
Stain. It also covers two surprising turns in his stormy
private life: marriage for a third time and his decision
to take US citizenship. This is a frank and revealing
account of one of the most influential and legendary
actors of our time.
