Several Beatty films have passed the test of time, from \u003ci\u003eBonnie and Clyde \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003eShampoo, Heaven Can Wait, Reds \u003c\/i\u003e(for which he won the best director Oscar), \u003ci\u003eBugsy, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBulworth\u003c\/i\u003e. Few filmgoers realize that along with Orson Welles, Beatty is the only person ever nominated for four Academy Awards for a single film--and unlike Welles, Beatty did it twice, with \u003ci\u003eHeaven Can Wait \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eReds\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBiskind shows how Beatty used star power, commercial success, savvy, and charm to bend Hollywood moguls to his will, establishing an unprecedented level of independence while still working within the studio system. Arguably one of the most successful and creative figures in Hollywood over the last few decades, Beatty exercised unique control over his films, often hiring screenwriters out of his own pocket (and frequently collaborating with them), producing, directing, and acting, becoming an auteur before anyone in Hollywood knew what the word meant. In this fascinating biography, the ultimate Hollywood Star comes to life--complete with excesses and achievements--as never before.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Biskind is the author of five previous books, including \u003ci\u003eEasy Riders\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-and-Rock 'n' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood.\u003c\/i\u003e He is a contributor to \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e and was formerly the executive editor of \u003ci\u003ePremiere\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
