What is Yul : the Man Who Would Be King : a Memoir of Father and Son about?

Here is a dazzling biographical memoir of one of the most charismatic figures of stage and screen--Yul Brynner--by Yul's only son. Yul Brynner was Hollywood's ultimate enigma, easily the entertainment industry's most exotic male star. He built a career on the lie that he was born of a gypsy woman and cut his teeth in the wilds of the Siberian taiga. The truth was even more remarkable than that. Here at last, is the man behind the legend--the half-Swiss, half-Tatar boy who grew up in China and Paris, smoked opium with Jean Cocteau, caroused with gypsies, worked as a trapeze artist, emigrated to America, married a starlet, and embarked on one of the most dynamic double careers Broadway and Hollywood would ever know. Yul Brynner electrified audiences with his portrayal of the tragic and despotic King ofSiam, a role he performed more than 4,000 times over a period of thirty years.It was a role that eventually became indistinguishable from the man, for YulBrynner was as much in love with power--and as much a victim of its illusions--as the king he played so brilliantly on stage. He was also every bit as mesmerizing and just as flawed. Yul's fame and riches transformed him. The year 1957
