En savoir plus sur le livre

Al Jolson, celebrated star of the world's first 'talking picture' and self-proclaimed World's Greatest Entertainer, blazed many trails through show business - and today his name still conjures up the glamour of Broadway and the silver screen. This is the definitive biography of a man who became a household name in his own lifetime. The first to speak in the movies; the first to appear on American television; the first to release a long-playing record in Britain: this great performer's achievements were unique. Jolson's lifelong love affair with his audience, his four marriages, his amazing ego and his traumatic personal life - all are described in detail, along with many anecdotes and reminiscences from those who knew, loved, and worked with him. This is the eighth edition of this biography - published as a result of a clamour from Jolson fans to still be able to read about this remarkable performer.
