Sal Mineo
Author: Michael Gregg Michaud
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307716678
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Sal Mineo is probably most well-known for his unforgettable, Academy Award–nominated turn opposite James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause and his tragic murder at the age of thirty-seven. Finally, in this riveting new biography filled with exclusive, candid interviews with both Mineo’s closest female and male lovers and never-before-published photographs, Michael Gregg Michaud tells the full story of this remarkable young actor’s life, charting his meteoric rise to fame and turbulent career and private life. One of the hottest stars of the 1950s, Mineo grew up as the son of Sicilian immigrants in a humble Bronx flat. But by age eleven, he appeared on Broadway in Tennessee Williams’s The Rose Tattoo, and then as Prince Chulalongkorn in the original Broadway production of The King and I starring Yul Brynner and Gertrude Lawrence. This sultry-eyed, dark-haired male ingénue of sorts appeared on the cover of every major magazine, thousands of star-struck fans attended his premieres, and millions bought his records, which included several top-ten hits. His life offstage was just as exhilarating: full of sports cars, motor boats, famous friends, and some of the most beautiful young actresses in Hollywood. But it was fourteen-year-old Jill Haworth, his costar in Exodus—the film that delivered one of the greatest acting roles of his life and earned him another Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe win—with whom he fell in love and moved to the West Coast. But by the 1960s, a series of professional missteps and an increasingly tumultuous private life reversed his fortunes. By the late sixties and early seventies, grappling with the repercussions of publicly admitting his homosexuality and struggling to reinvent himself from an aging teen idol, Mineo turned toward increasingly self-destructive behavior. Yet his creative impulses never foundered. He began directing and producing controversial off-Broadway plays that explored social and sexual taboos. He also found personal happiness in a relationship with male actor Courtney Burr. Tragically, on the cusp of turning a new page in his life, Mineo’s life was cut short in a botched robbery. Revealing a charming, mischievous, creative, and often scandalous side of Mineo few have known before now, Sal Mineo is an intimate, moving biography of a distinctive Hollywood star.

Cyborg
Author: Wolodymyr Mohuchy
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1664191623
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Sol Abrams, a former NYPD policeman and now a partner in an upscale law firm, asks his best friend Terry Adams, the firm’s forensic investigator, to help mitigate the death threats by the mob to Asher Feldman, his visiting relative. Reluctant to tangle once again with the Brighton Beach toughs, he condescends to his friend’s plea. He meets the victim at a family gathering, and after hearing his story, he undertakes the task with renewed commitment. Asher Feldman, a street urchin from Mariupol, Ukraine, met, fell in love, and married the daughter of a successful jeweler in Kyiv. In due course, he mastered the trade and became a brillianteer. When Maidan, the Revolution of Dignity, erupted, he, along with his patriotic biker friends, dedicated themselves to the cause of freedom. In the final days of the uprising, Asher took up arms and fought Putin’s Spetsnaz snipers in the bloodied streets of the capitol. Putin’s war in Donbas, once again, stirred his patriotic fervor. Asher volunteered for service in the Dnipro-1 Regiment. In boot camp, he cultivated his skill as a sniper, which was in high demand on the battlefield. Again, at a critical time, he volunteered to defend the Donetsk Airport from Moscow’s aggressors and became a CYBORG, a term the ruthless enemy imparted on the indestructibly strong-willed fighters. His service as a Cyborg, however, was short-lived. During an overwhelming attack by Russian Special Forces, Asher was posted in a runway crater to help thwart the attack. In the heat of the battle, RPG shrapnel tore apart his left leg, which had to be amputated. He eventually was brought to Walter Reed Hospital for rehabilitation. While waiting for his leg to firm and receive a permanent prosthesis, he plied his trade in the diamond district of Manhattan. Russian-speaking mobsters demanded that he provide them with the security layout of the facility in preparation for a burglary. They threatened his life and the lives of his wife and children. Terry turned to Mustafa Chubarov, a Brighton Beach chieftain, with whom he had previous dealings. He verified that the threat came from overseas, most likely from Kyiv, where Terry went and identified the main culprit. In the process, he nearly forfeited his life.
