Stone: The Controversies, Excesses & Exploits of a Radical Film Director

Description

Riordan worked as a consultant on Oliver Stone’s film of Morrison’s life, The Doors, which led to his writing Stone’s biography. Published by Hyperion /Disney in December 1995, Entertainment Weekly called STONE “an unflinching biography… enough spectacle to fill a month of daytime-TV talk shows.” The New York Post said reading the book was like “the sensory overload of watching all of Oliver Stone’s movies back to back.” Oliver Stone’s professional achievements and personal demons are captured in this explosive biography of the outspoken, Oscar-winning filmmaker–his spoiled but neglected childhood, his tour in Vietnam, his struggle as a screenwriter, and his incredible acclaim as a director.
