Book Description

In 1944, Laird Cregar played Jack the Ripper in The Lodger, giving one of the most haunting performances in Hollywood history. It was the climax of a strange celebrity that saw the young American actor--who stood 6' 3" and weighed more than 300 pounds--earn distinction as a portrayer of psychopaths and villains. Determined to break free of this typecasting, he desperately desired to become "a beautiful man," embarking on an extreme diet that killed him at 31. This first biography of Cregar tells the heartbreaking story of the brilliant but doomed actor. Appendices cover his film, theatre, and radio work. Many never before published photographs are included.

Audiobooks have made my commutes so much more enjoyable, and I'm always excited to listen. I'm amazed at how this app has made my daily routines more enjoyable and intellectually fulfilling. Downloading over WiFi is quick and efficient. Saves a lot of time. The app supports background playback, which is a must for me. I love the auto-rewind feature. It’s great for when I zone out.

ListenBook has transformed how I enjoy audiobooks. It's an indispensable part of my routine. Perfect narration for this genre! The voice actor’s tone matched the atmosphere of the book, enhancing the overall experience. No complaints—just a smooth, enjoyable listen from beginning to end. A reasonable choice for casual listening. The audiobook was well-produced, but the pacing felt uneven in places. I didn’t dislike it, but I also didn’t feel strongly about it one way or another.
