Habt ihr gewusst, dass es eine Biographie über Richard Jeackel gibt? Bin zufällig eben drüber gestolpert!
Amazon-LinkCharacter actor Richard Jaeckel worked five decades in Hollywood alongside the industry's biggest names. Noted for tough-guy portrayals, he appeared in such classic westerns and war films as Sands of Iwo Jima (1949), The Gunfighter (1950), 3:10 to Yuma (1957), and The Dirty Dozen (1967). Bringing strength and integrity to his roles, he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Sometimes a Great Notion (1970).
A World War II veteran and Merchant Marine, he was respected in the surfing and fitness communities for his ageless athleticism. His performance as Turk in Come Back, Little Sheba (1952) was groundbreaking for iron-pumping actors wanting to be taken seriously for their dramatic abilities.
This revealing portrait of the life of a working character actor covers Jaeckel's noteworthy career through each of his film and television appearances, from Guadalcanal Diary (1943) to Baywatch (1994). Recollections and behind the scenes stories from those he knew and worked with offer an in-depth look at the dedication and professionalism it takes to make it in Hollywood.
Schon schade, dass in der Buchbeschreibung zwar "Baywatch" erwähnt wurde aber nicht die eigentlich für ihn sehr viel bekanntere "Spenser" Serie. Denke aber schon, dass im Buch davon was drin ist. Jedenfalls wurde das Titelbild aus "Spenser" gewählt
