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.

This app makes traffic jams a breeze – time flies by while I'm engrossed in a story. Savoring stories has never been this smooth – this app's functionality is genius. Adjustable playback speed is a brilliant feature. It adds a layer of customization to my audiobook enjoyment. The app is so reliable. I’ve never had any issues with it. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
