Product Description
Alec Guinness appeared in 77 films and 55 plays, winning acclaim for commanding roles such as Professor Marcus in "The Ladykillers". Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Star Wars" and George Smiley in "Smiley's People". Although he was a gifted actor and a familiar figure to many, he was also a complex, multi-layered man who was careful throughout his life to show only a little of his real self, never too much. The author includes some new information about Guinness's childhood, his secret relationships and the fears that haunted him. O'Connor's research includes interviews with Guinness himself as well as those who were close to him.
