Om denne bog

One of Hollywood''s most heralded postwar African American movie stars, James Edwards catapulted to stardom following his breakout role in Stanley Kramer''s Home of the Brave. In his groundbreaking performance as a U.S. soldier experiencing racial prejudice during combat in the South Pacific, Edwards proved that African American actors could handle serious film roles. Edwards performed on radio, television, and theatre, and appeared in two-dozen or more films, including Stanley Kubrick''s breakthrough indie The Killing, John Frankenheimer''s The Manchurian Candidate, and Franklin J. Schaffner''s Patton.

This book tells the story of Edwards'' life and career, describing his unlikely climb to fame following a serious wartime injury and detailing how this native of Muncie, Indiana, paved the way for the careers of Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, and other African American stars to follow.
