{"product_id":"9781400078042","title":"Somebody: The Reckless Life and Remarkable Career of Marlon Brando","description":"\u003cp\u003eStefan Kanfer, acclaimed biographer of Lucille Ball and Groucho Marx, now gives us the definitive life of Marlon Brando, seamlessly intertwining the man and the work to give us a stunning and illuminating appraisal. Beginning with Brando’s turbulent childhood, Kanfer follows him to New York where he made his star-making Broadway debut as Stanley Kowalski in \u003ci\u003eA Streetcar Named Desire\u003c\/i\u003e at age twenty-three. Brando then decamped for Hollywood, and Kanfer looks at each of Brando’s films over the years—from \u003ci\u003eThe Men\u003c\/i\u003e in 1950 to \u003ci\u003eThe Score\u003c\/i\u003e in 2001—offering deft and insightful analysis of his sometimes brilliant, sometimes baffling performances. And, finally, Kanfer brings into focus Brando’s self-destructiveness, ambivalence toward his craft, and the tragedies that shadowed his last years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025118249200,"sku":"9781400078042","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781400078042_p0.jpg?v=1763712878","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781400078042","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
