What an iconic actor on stage and screen.
Michael Corleone
Serpico
I don't need to say much more. What a life! He grew up with a mentally unwell mother, really just wild in the South Bronx. Crazy friends, but he had a lot of promise and a teacher that recognized it. He entered the New York High School of Performing Arts and never looked back. Stage, screen, rich, poor, drugs and alcohol, bankrupt, success. So much of life that would worry us - he shrugged as only Al Pacino would, and then worked to make his life work. He embodies art and art is in his blood and soul.
A unique individual who has given it his all. I can't begin to list all the credits. Read the book and you'll hear that distinctive voice in your head.
It's Al F@*king Pacino!!!!!!!
Despite all that, he had an amazing career.
ReplyDeleteYep. He’s a unique survivor
DeleteAs you say no need to say more ... amazing what happens to come people ... good for him and us ... if I see the book - I'll read it - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteAnd you can hear his voice as you read it. Enjoy!
