Book Synopsis
The definitive biography of the legendary film noir actor.

Trade Review
Martin Scorsese rightly called Robert Ryan ‘one of the greatest actors in the history of American Film,’ and J.R. Jones in his excellent biography shows what a fascinating career it as—complicated, contradictory, accidental…Jones’ thoughtful, thoroughly researched book takes a balanced view of Ryan’s achievements. * Sound & Sight *
[Robert Ryan] has begun to get the appreciation he deserves. A revival was marked last year by the publication of a good biography, The Lives of Robert Ryan by J.R. Jones. * London Review of Books *
