A bona fide tough guy with soulful eyes and a laconic style, Robert Mitchum was one of Hollywood's best-loved actors, star of such moody film noir favourites as Out of the Past, Night of the Hunter and Cape Fear, as well as enduring classics like Angel Face and Crossfire. But, as Lee Server now reveals, Mitchum was one of the few Hollywood icons whose real-life exploits were yet more compelling than his on-screen persona. A hobo in the Depression, he fell into movie acting after stints as a boxer, a beach bum and a songwriter. Despite early Hollywood successes, he was famously busted on a narcotics rap. But even prison couldn't tame Mitchum's taste for living on the wild side, and he remained an unrepentant misbehaver until the end of his days. In this biography of Robert Mitchum, Lee Server offers the definitive life story of a man who redefined cinematic cool.

Johnny Rosselli's story is the stuff of a thousand pulp fictions, tabloid headlines and unsolved mysteries. He was the Mob's 'man in Hollywood,' and the last protUgU of Al Capone. In Handsome Johnny, Lee Server vividly brings to life a man who was involved with the right and wrong people in the powerful world of entertainment, from the glamorous to the business side. He was close with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Jean Harlow and Marilyn Monroe.Moving from Chicago in the '20's, to Hollywood in the '30's, Havana and Vegas in the '40's, and finally being forced to seek solace in Miami, Johnny Rosselli did not live a quiet life and with Server's creative non-fiction techniques, Handsome Johnny comes to life as vibrantly as the best fiction. From Rosselli's humble origins in Italy to his violent death in Miami some 70 years later, this is a great telling of the lesser known tale of one of America's most notorious gangsters.
