A bona fide tough guy with soulful eyes and a laconic style, Robert Mitchum was one of Hollywood's best-loved actors, star of such moody classics as Out of the Past, Night of the Hunter and Cape Fear. But Mitchum was one of the few Hollywood icons whose real-life exploits were yet more compelling than his on-screen persona. A hobo in the Depression, he fell into movie acting after stints as a boxer, a beach bum and a songwriter. Despite early Hollywood successes, he was famously busted on a narcotics rap. But even prison couldn't tame Mitchum's taste for lving on the wild side, and he remained an unrepentant misbehaver until the end of his days. Now Lee Server offers the definitive life story of a man who redefined cinematic cool.
