Garner - Still A Mystery

The author does an excellent job of pulling together material from many sources to provide interesting insights into one of Hollywoood's most popular actors. Unfortunately, Mr. Garner did not provide an interview for the author and very little of his private life is revealed. It is enjoyable to hear the background behind his various movies and TV series as well as his other business ventures. The reader is left with an impression that Mr. Garner is a much deeper and more complex man than one would suspect. This book was written in 1985 and so much of Mr. Garner's life is not covered. After a mid-life crisis involving numerous lawsuits, a troubled marriage, poor health, deep depression, and the "cancelled" Rockford Files, Mr. Garner seems to have mellowed considerably. It would be very interesting to update this bio with current info.
