A Biographer Whose Past Was as Dramatic as Her Subjects'

Adapted from Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy, George Stevens’ classic drama won six Academy Awards. Montgomery Clift is brilliant as a young factory worker whose upward striving lands him in the arms of a beautiful socialite (Elizabeth Taylor). She introduces him to the life he’s always wanted – but his half-hearted aff air with his now pregnant workmate (Shelley Winters) leads to tragedy. (USA, 1951, 122 min., English, NR, DCP | Dir. George Stevens)

Now Bosworth has finally written her own riveting memoir – The Men in My Life: A Memoir of Love and Art in 1950s Manhattan. Living in the shadow of father Bartley Crum’s ruined career after defending the Hollywood Ten, Bosworth off ers vivid confessions about her journey into womanhood, defying repressive 1950s conventions while studying and acting on Broadway and in film with such friends as Lee Strasberg, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman, Audrey Hepburn, Elia Kazan, Gore Vidal, Paul Muni, Helen Hayes and Elaine Strich.
