"On a nondescript Wednesday morning in the waning days of March 2023, one of the biggest movie stars on the planet called it quits. It was a sad conclusion to the storied career of a man who had at one point been the highest-paid actor in Hollywood. That career is the subject of Sean O'Connell's Bruce Willis: Celebrating the Cinematic Legacy of an Unbreakable Hollywood Icon, a definitive survey of Willis the actor, the cultural icon, and the man. Here, O'Connell compiles exclusive, original interviews with directors who have worked with Willis, as well as film critics and journalists who have analyzed his career, into a celebratory compendium. It also features the author's analysis of Willis's films, his career arc, and the industry that made him a star. And it includes capsule reviews of every Bruce Willis film, making this a complete handbook to a true American original"-- Provided by publisher. 20241007.
