Depardieu

This biography of Gerard Depardieu charts his life from the adolescent forays into petty crime in the French town of Chateauroux to his current jet-set existence. Documenting the film career that encompasses successes such as "Jean de Florette", "Manon des Sources", "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "Green Card", the book also covers Depardieu's work in the theatre, which he takes as seriously as his devotion to good food and fine wine. Delving into his private life, the author writes about his attitude to his marriage, his friends and his family, and about the much-publicized rape scandal. Marianne Gray's other books include "The Other 'Alf" and "Thoughts About Architecture".
