  Michael Douglas is one of the most recognisable faces on the planet, a movie star known even in the most inaccessible places in the world. Now a superstar actor and powerful producer in his own right, he started his career deep in the shadows of his world-famous father, which proved to be a mixed blessing. In researching this book Andy Dougan has interviewed a number of Douglas's friends and colleagues including his closest friend, Danny De Vito. He also conducted four extensive interviews with Douglas himself, which form the basis for this book. In this long-overdue biography of one of the most important cinematic figures of the past fifty years, Andy Dougan reveals the true Michael Douglas, a troubled man driven by his father's success, and reveals what makes him run.
