Synopsis
On the motion picture screen, Hollywood star Warren William (1894-1948) was a magnificent rogue, often deliciously immoral and utterly callous, yet remarkably likable in his wickedness. Off-screen, the actor was as humble and retiring as his film characters were mean and heartless. This biography examines William's life and career in detail, from his rural Minnesota roots through his service in World War I, his Broadway stage success, and his meteoric rise and gradual fall from Hollywood fame in the 1930s and 1940s. Also analyzed are his film persona and the curious mechanisms by which our culture "selects" certain film personalities to remember and others to forget. Featured is a wealth of biographical material never before available, including rare candid photos of William's early years. Interviews with his surviving nieces provide intimate family details and personal remembrances.

Review
"An absorbing biography...revealing a wealth of fascinating details about this sensitive, thoughtful actor." --Movie Magazine International
"I cannot recommend this volume too highly. His research is impeccable, and he has done his subject proud...fills in the blanks of William's previously "mysterious" personal life while tackling his films. A very worthwhile biography." --Classic Images
