A major star of live television in the 1950s, he stumbled accidentally into making his first film, Shadows, while leading an acting workshop--and created a template for working outside the system that would produce some of the most piercing and human films of the next thirty years, including Faces, Husbands, and A woman under the influence. Turning his back on Hollywood, he became the prototypical outsider, fighting the system, financing and ultimately distributing his films himself, at a time when there was no apparatus to get a non-studio film into theaters around the country. His life and work are examined in this biography, with cooperation from his wife and muse Gena Rowlands and others of this inner circle, to reveal just how daring and forward-thinking he was.--From publisher description. 600 10 Cassavetes, John,|d1929-1989. 650 0 Motion picture producers and directors|zUnited States |vBiography. 650 0 Motion picture actors and actresses|zUnited States |vBiography. 650 0 Independent filmmakers|zUnited States|vBiography. 938 Baker & Taylor|bBKTY|c27.95|d20.96|i1401352499|n0006434141 |sactive 938 Baker and Taylor|bBTCP|nbl2005020083 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n2234179 938 Baker & Taylor|bBKTY|c18.95|d14.21|i1401360130|n0006781058 |sactive 994 02|bWHP
