5-0 out of 5 stars Ian Charleson:A Great Talent, A Genuine Human Being
Ian Charleson aimed at excellence and hit his mark time, and time again.This is a performer who live his life quietly, and remained grounded.He took his acting seriously, but not himself.He walked with humility despite his successes.Charleson was a rare individual, an absolute contrast for a world filled with narcissists and egomaniacs.I am deeply saddened that I was unaware of him, and his work, while he was alive.When he passed away in 1990 before his time, the entertainment world lost a performer who raised the bar high (HIGH)!Society lost an incredible human being who possessed character, and bravery.

5-0 out of 5 stars Oh my, Ian is gone....
Chariots of Fire was a very inspirational work in my life.Ian Charleson as the role of Eric Liddel was especially so.I just viewed the movie again on a video iPod while I was flying from Tucson to DC.What a wonderful movie.Even more so was Charleson's portrayal of Eric Liddel -- God fearing, disciplined, and when he ran you could see the light of God in him...

I am crushed by the fact that Ian Charleson passed away almost 16 years ago.I had no idea.I was hoping to find him.

Long live Ian.

5-0 out of 5 stars Appropriate Title
I regret never meeting Ian Charleson but have a feeling I knew him from his work.It's too bad he didn't live longer for more to be aware of his outstanding talents and the almost effortless ability to portray just about any emotion he wished on command whether on stage or behind the camera.

I'm glad this tribute has been created so he can be remembered by those who miss him.

4-0 out of 5 stars Everything about McKellen
I bought this book shortly after it was published in England after seeing Ian McKellen on stage. As a biography it's fairly thorough and as a diehard fan I learned a few new things. It's strictly a fan bio, though. Some biographies expand into more context; this does not. Well worth it then but can get almost the same information on his personal web site now. How the world has changed. I used to have to track down all my own information and now Kindle delivers it while I sleep.

But Shakespeare and Shakespearean actors continue and Sir Ian McKellen is among the best. This bio stops in the 80's, before Lord of the Rings and X-Men, though some early interesting bits. My favorite is that after I saw him drive up to the theatre in a small black Mini Cooper I learned from the book it was a recent purchase - he had ridden a small scooter and was not yet an accomplished driver. (The curb did get a jolt.)

I wonder if he still drives or is driven. This book would have to be updated to learn that. But she is thorough and for those who want the early years, this book is terrific. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The play's the thing...
Ian McKellan played Richard III on the stage in London, then touring the world, under Richard Eyre's direction and the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain's auspices.Like many great productions of Richard III in the past, there was an anticlimactic sense about things when the lengthy run ended - McKellan compares his production (justifiably) to those of Henry Irving and David Garrick, but longs for the lasting legacy of Laurence Olivier, who translated his successful stage production into a lasting cinematic production.Richard Eyre issued the challenge to McKellan to produce a screenplay, which he did, in collaboration with Richard Loncraine.

It is true that Shakespeare is the 'author' of Richard III - of course, much of Shakespeare's authoring involved heavy borrowing, redaction and crafting.This is not to take anything away from Shakespeare's achievement, but rather to prove the adage 'good writers borrow from others; great writers steal from them outright'.However, every production of a Shakespeare play requires modification of some sort; bringing Shakespeare productions to the screen (indeed, bringing any stage-play to the screen) requires a recrafting to suit the medium.McKellan and Loncraine rearranged and edited expertly the play to suit a film.

McKellan provides a brief introduction to the history and the play.Richard III has been an enigmatic and controversial character - Shakespeare's play is probably more in keeping with Tudor propaganda against Richard III (from whom they took the throne) rather than actual history; Richard's malformed physical form and malicious character may be fictions, or at least great exaggerations, designed to serve the purpose of bolstering Tudor legitimacy.McKellan points out (a theory not unique to him, by any means) that the Tudors had as much to gain from the disappearance of the princes in the tower as Richard himself; had they survived and been recognised as heirs of the throne, Tudor legitimacy would have been much less credible.

McKellan describes the decision to update the tale of Richard III into more modern times as one to provide clarity of narrative.Indeed, for this production, Richard is seen as a storm-trooper similar to the militant cadres of Germany in the 1930; his grasp for power is very similar in tone to the rise to dictatorship of any number of fascist leaders, but the Nuremberg-Rally character of Richard's accession leaves little doubt as to the parallel.On stage and screen, in a drama such as these, people need to be readily identified in their roles; Elizabethan dress (or earlier dress) is confusing to the modern eye, but the difference between costuming for military, aristocracy, etc. in the modern time is readily identifiable.The exact historical situation is not directly relevant - given that Richard III already takes liberties with the actual history of the time, why not take more in the name of accessibility to the audience?

McKellan gives an extensive background tale to the problems of revision (Richard III had to be cut; be turned into a visual rather than auditory experience, given the sensibilities of modern cinema-goers; etc.) and the tale of finding support, backing and funding.He talks about the difficulties involved in finding adequate sets and actors (McKellan originally envisioned filming around the British Parliament; due to various issues, that idea was squashed, but the alternative, the Parliament in Budapest, became a fascinating and acceptable alternative, particularly given that the building is Budapest was modeled after the one in Westminster).With final funding, casting, director and all in place, the show did proceed.

This is not the complete text of Richard III by any means.As McKellan points out, Shakespeare plays have been trimmed since the very beginning, to suit times, troupes and audiences.Richard III is one of the longer plays - few audiences would be willing to sit through three to four hours of Shakespeare in the cinema, particularly for a lesser-known play.Thus, this is a version roughly two-thirds the actual length; however, due to cinematic magic, most of the story remains without great distortion.

There is a running commentary throughout the screenplay.This includes both commentary on the play and commentary on the film.Production photos complement the text, including some scenes that were not included in the final film.The screenplay not only includes the text of the dialogue, but also other production directions and descriptions, particularly of those relatively few scenes in which there is no dialogue.

This is a fascinating look at the back-side of a Shakespeare play-become-film.I highly recommend it to fans of Shakespeare, McKellan, modern culture, and those with a care for the cross-currents of the various strands in primary Western culture.

5-0 out of 5 stars Looking Behind the Scenes
McKellan's sceenplay for his movie of Richard III is a great read for anyone interested in how a script becomes a play or how a play becomes a movie. McKellan's side bar comments on how scenes were shot or decisions were made on what language to cut, change, or move are insightful and a lot of fun. Because the movie started as a stage production, the book addresses not only how to film Shakespeare, but also the changes that can or must be made when a play is filmed. Also worth noting is McKellen's introduction, which contains the best explanation of blank verse (Shakespeare's verse form) that I have ever encountered. I recently repurchased this book through Amazon; I lent it to one of my college professors a few years ago and never saw it again. I can't think of many books that I'm willing to buy twice, so I give this book my wholehearted endorsement.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Most Satisfying Collection
I use the word "collection," because readers will not only be treated to the screenplay, but also to Sir Ian McKellen's breezy, comfortable style of writing in his thorough introduction and annotations. For those familiar with his Official Homepage notes, Sir Ian captures youmost willingly with his conversational tone and easy wit. (There are alsoplenty of well-captioned b/w photos to support "the script.")Anexcellent purchase. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Great book about a great man.
So far this is the best biography of Ian McKellen there is. It may not be the best book ever but its the best we will have until hopefully Sir McKellen graces us with his own autobiography.

3-0 out of 5 stars The Life and Art of Ian McKellen
Let's be brief. This biography is "unauthorized," which means it contains virtually none of McKellen's recollections, realizations, and human wisdom -- out of which of course a great actor understands and creates theatrical interpretation. The facts are here, and so what? How did this actor come to see the world as he does? Why is he unique among gay-rights activists? How can he understand one aspect or play of Shakespeare, and beblind to the wisdom of another? Every question an earnest biographer would ask when dealing face to face with a master of his art is missing from the book, because the author never got to ask them or Sir Ian to reflect upon them. So if you want to know the c.v. of a prominent British actor, this book will serve. If you want to listen to one transcendental answer from Sir Ian reflecting on seven decades of a remarkable life, wait for an autobiography. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A charming and moving book
This is a collection of photography that illustrates people from all walks of life who are living with HIV/AIDS. The black and white photographs show people from young to old surrounded by things or people that they love and that make them happy. The focus of the book is on the fact that people are LIVING with AIDS rather than focusing on death in any way. The best part of the book are the captions that accompany each photograph...words of wisdom and life from the people featured in the pages.

5-0 out of 5 stars Touching, immensely moving and beautifully produced.
Living Proof: Courage in the Face of AIDS

I have been providing emotional support to people living with HIV/AIDS for more than five years in Australia and while living in Brazil, I had the experience of losing a good friend with AIDS. I consider Carolyn Jones' book - Living Proof: Courage in the Face of AIDS, the best book ever produced about HIV and AIDS.

It summarizes it all. Not only through the beautiful photos taken by Carolyn Jones, but also through the feelings, values, believes and hopes of each participant, extraordinarily condensed by Michael Liberatore's work.

It is so universal, touching and moving. A magnificent piece of art that can help to reduce the prejudices about AIDS, basically caused by fear and ignorance. I hope you will buy this book and help to promote it. We could not buy it in local Sydney bookshops, but now, using the internet, I will buy a few to donate to some libraries.

Thank you so much Carolyn Jones, Michael Liberatore, George DeSipio Jr. and everyone involved in this project. ... Read more

Excerpt: Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States (19811989) and the 33rd Governor of California (19671975). Born in Tampico, Illinois, Reagan moved to Los Angeles, California in the 1930s.

Though largely a B film actor, some of his most notable roles are in Knute Rockne, All American and Kings Row. Reagan served as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and later spokesman for General Electric (GE); his start in politics occurred during his work for GE.

Excerpt: Sir Ian Murray McKellen, CH, CBE (born 25 May 1939) is an English actor. He has received a Tony Award and two Academy Award nominations. His work has spanned genres from Shakespearean and modern theatre to popular fantasy and science fiction. He is known to many for roles such as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy and as Magneto in the X-Men films. In 1988, McKellen came out and announced he was gay. He became a founding member of Stonewall, one of the United Kingdom's most influential LGBT rights groups, of which he remains a prominent spokesman. He was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1979, and knighted in the 1991 New Year Honours for his outstanding work and contributions to theatre. In the 2008 New Year Honours he was made a Companion of Honour (CH) for services to drama and to equality. McKellen was born in Burnley, Lancashire, England, though he spent most of his early life in Wigan. Born shortly before the outbreak of World War II, the experience had some lasting impact on him. In response to an interview question when an interviewer remarked that he seemed quite calm in the aftermath of the 11 September attacks, he said: "Well, darling, you forget I slept under a steel plate until I was four years old." McKellen's father, Denis Murray McKellen, a civil engineer, was a lay preacher, ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=15308 ... Read more
