Hollywood Hellraisers

The Wild Lives and Fast Times of Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty, and Jack Nicholson

By: Robert Sellers

Narrated by: Jim Frangione

In his follow-up to the acclaimed Hellraisers, Sellers traces the intertwining lives and careers of four outrageous Hollywood movie mavericks.

“I don’t know what people expect when they meet me. They seem to be afraid that I’m going to piss in the potted palm and slap them on the ass.” - Marlon Brando

“I should have been dead ten times over. I believe in miracles. It’s an absolute miracle that I’m still around.” - Dennis Hopper

“You only lie to two people in your life: your girlfriend and the police.” - Jack Nicholson

“The best time to get married is noon. That way, if things don’t work out, you haven’t blown the whole day.” - Warren Beatty

They’re the baddest bad-asses Hollywood as ever seen: Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty, and Jack Nicholson. They are men to whom rules did not apply; normal standards of behavior were simply too wearisome to worry about. These are men who brawled, boozed, snorted, and screwed their way into legend - but along the way they changed acting and the way movies were made forever. Hollywood Hellraisers is a whistle-stop tour of jaw-dropping sexual activity, misbehavior of an Olympic standard, all-out excess, and genuine madness. It’s a wonder Hollywood survived.

Reads like a bad tabloid

The writing leaves a lot to be desired. The narrative basically repeats the same bawdy behaviors of these "Hollywood Bad Boys" over and over ad nauseum before the first chapter is complete. The narrator somehow managed to sound bored yet envious at the same time; a true skill I'll admit. If you like repeating storylines about old men chasing tail, this one's for you.

Ok

Ok read. Very long and convoluted but all and all some interesting topics. Would recommend to the avid Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood

Learned a lot , interesting all the way through

A great insight into the lives of these greats of film, filled with wild stories and funny anecdotes, broken down at a good pace, somehow finding a way to stay interesting throughout the process. Great read

Good stuff!

As much as I wanted to know about in one sitting…and more…
Thanks for the good stuff…

A good ride

Lots of sex, drugs and guys that took life as the playground we all wish we had the courage to live. They left behind some classic films and plenty of dogs as well as kids, pain and a taste of what living on the edge is all about.


The book seemed to go on forever.
