520 Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole, and Oliver
Reed: On screen they were stars, off screen they were
legends. This is the story of drunken binges of near
biblical proportions, parties and orgies, broken marriages,
riots, and wanton sexual conquests--indeed, acts so
outrageous that if ordinary mortals had perpetrated them
they would have ended up in jail. They got away with the
kind of behavior that today's film stars could scarcely
dream of, because of their mercurial acting talent and
because the press and public loved them. They were truly
the last of a breed. This is a celebratory catalogue of
their miscreant deeds, a greatest-hits package of their
most breathtakingly outrageous behavior, told with humor
and affection. You can't help but enjoy it--after all,
they certainly did.--From publisher description.
