Hellraisers: The Life and Inebriated Times of Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole & Oliver Reed
Hellraisers The Life and Inebriated Times of Richard Burton Richard Harris Peter O'Toole Oliver Reed
Author:
The highly entertaining biography of four charismatic and much-loved actors follows them through five decades of boozing, brawling and braggadocio. — ?God put me on this earth to raise sheer hell.? Richard Burton — ?I was a sinner. I slugged some people. I hurt many people. And it?s true, I never looked back to see the casualties.? Richa... more »
?Booze is the most outrageous of all drugs, which is why I chose it.? Peter O?Toole
?I don?t have a drink problem. But if that was the case and doctors told me I had to stop, I?d like to think I would be brave enough to drink myself into the grave.? Oliver Reed
This is the story of four of the greatest thespian boozers who ever walked ? or staggered ? off a film set into a pub. It?s a story of drunken binges of near biblical proportions, parties and orgies, broken marriages, drugs, riots and wanton sexual conquests. And yet these piss-artists were seemingly immune from the law. They got away with it because of their extraordinary acting talent and because the public loved them. They were truly the last of a breed, the last of the movie hellraisers.
