This sweeping Hollywood biography chronicles the extraordinary life of Darryl F. Zanuck, one of the most powerful and controversial figures ever to dominate the American film industry. Leonard Mosley's Zanuck: The Rise and Fall of Hollywood's Last Tycoon traces the arc of a self-made mogul who clawed his way from humble Nebraska origins to the pinnacle of 20th Century Fox, shaping the golden age of cinema with an iron will and an unmatched instinct for storytelling. Mosley presents an unflinching portrait of a man whose personal excesses and autocratic style were as legendary as the blockbusters he produced, from The Longest Day to All About Eve. Written with the pace and drama of a Hollywood screenplay itself, the narrative uncovers the boardroom battles, romantic scandals, and creative triumphs that defined — and ultimately undermined — Zanuck's reign. It stands as a definitive account of an era when a single visionary, for better or worse, could bend an entire industry to his will.
