Edward Will Be Missed...
For us that knew Ed, he was not a money hungry person nor was he trying to hit up Pacino for money. Ed was a beautiful person and he cared for Pacino very much. Ed passed away on June 29,2004. He was only 72 years old.He will be very missed and we all love you Ed.Rest In Peace and God Bless.

Edward De Leo
I think that this book is very good and well written i had a good time reading it and i think that if you want to read a tale of two actors read this book i highly recommend it. Edward De Leo should write more books i look forward to seeing your next book.Thanks and Good Luck

Wannabe
This book tells the story of two people whose careers took totally different paths - one to success and one to near complete failure. The author of this book, Edward De Leo, worked with Al as a mentor very early on in Pacino's acting career, and probably helped him a great deal, but once Al became successful, De Leo was little more than a nuisance to him, hitting him up for movie parts and money over the years. The story of Edward De Leo's life is really pretty pitiful and the introduction of little bits of information about Pacino, although somewhat interesting at times, fail to disguise this book as anything other than one more attempt by a man who perhaps feels entitled to a piece of Al's success, to exploit it.Kudos to Pacino, who, by all accounts, treated this "old friend" with kindness and generosity. For Pacino fans, there are some interesting tidbits... ... Read more

He began his career appearing in theatre during the late 1950s, moving into small to supporting television and film roles during the early 1960s in such works as To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) and Captain Newman, M.D. (1963). He started to land much larger roles during the early 1970s with movies like MASH (1970) and THX 1138 (1971).

Extrait : Al Pacino (de son vrai nom Alfredo James Pacino) est un acteur américain né le 25 avril 1940 à New York. Il est connu pour les rôles de Michael Corleone dans Le Parrain, de Tony Montana dans Scarface, de Sonny Wortzik dans Un après-midi de chien, de Frank Serpico dans Serpico, du Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade dans Le Temps d'un week-end, et de Roy Cohn dans Angels in America. Il a gagné l'Oscar du meilleur acteur en 1992 pour sa prestation dans Le Temps d'un week-end, après 7 nominations. Al Pacino est né à East Harlem, Manhattan, et est le fils d'italo-américains, Rose (née Gerardi) et Salvatore Alfred Pacino, qui divorcent quand il a deux ans. Sa mère déménage dans le South Bronx, pour vivre chez ses parents, Kate et James Gerardi, originaires de Corleone, Sicile. Son père part en Californie et ouvre son propre restaurant. Al Pacino entre plus tard à la High School of Performing Arts, fréquentée également par Robert De Niro. Quand il découvrit l'enseignement des principes du jeu d'acteur selon Stanislavski (« La Méthode »), il trouva cela terriblement barbant. Il n'y resta que deux ans, car l'argent vint à manquer et le besoin de trouver un travail fut plus impérieux que celui de poursuivre des études...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Norma Jeane Dougherty Norma Jeane DiMaggioMarilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 August 5, 1962), born Norma Jeane Mortenson, but baptized Norma Jeane Baker, was an American actress, singer, and model. After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were critically acclaimed. In a few years, Monroe reached stardom and was cast as the leading lady in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, Some Like It Hot, and The Seven Year Itch. The typecasting of Monroe's "dumb blonde" persona limited her career prospects, so she broadened her range. She studied at the Actors Studio and formed Marilyn M...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19318 ... Read more
