The off-screen antics of Tinsel Town`s hellraisers

From its very beginnings the movie business has attracted characters with a penchant for creating havoc. Hollywood rogues with preferences for pleasures in the extreme or fiery temperaments have always made bigger headlines for their real life activities than for their professional accomplishments. In this new rogues gallery of Hollywood, Michael Munn takes the lid off Tinsel Town and recounts shocking tales of mayhem and debauchery from names you might expect and those that might surprise you.
Munn`s cast list naturally includes Errol Flynn, perhaps the greatest rogue of all, who believed in trying every kind of pleasure in life and made most of them life-long hobbies. There are also tales from John Huston, himself a legendary hellraiser, about his explosive run-ins with John Wayne and Montgomery Clift. Then there are Charlie Chaplin`s amorous exploits; Peter Finch`s battle with the bottle; Robert Mitchum`s drugs bust and imprisonment; the non-conformity of Hollywood rebels Marlon Brando and James Dean; the devilish deeds of hard-drinking stars like William Holden, Richard Harris, WC Fields and Bruce Willis, and tales of many others.
From Flynn to Penn, from the Rat Pack to the Brat Pack, rogues have painted Hollywood red with their incredible shenanigans and their stories make compulsive reading.

Recounts the shocking off-screen exploits of Hollywood`s leading men, including Errol Flynn, Frank Sinatra, Rob Lowe, Charlie Chaplin, and Roman Polanski
