One Helluva a Life

This intimate, earthy, outrageously blunt memoir by one of the legendary stars of American theater and film is packed with anecdotes about many of Stapleton’s associates, including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Laurence Olivier, and Marlon Brando. Told in a voice so direct that it is startling, this compelling biography will be a revelation even to those who know this funny lady best. Photos.
