Hal Ashby (19291988) Was Always An Outsider, And As A Director He Brought An Outsider'S Perspective To Hollywood Cinema. After Moving To California From A Mormon Household In Utah, He Created Eccentric Films That Reflected The Uncertain Social Climate Of The 1970S. Whether It Is His Enduring Cult Classic Harold And Maude (1971) Or The Iconic Being There (1979), Ashby'S Artistry Is Unmistakable. His Skill For Blending Intense Drama With Offkilter Comedy Attracted Alist Actors And Elicited Powerful Performances From Jack Nicholson In The Last Detail (1973), Warren Beatty And Julie Christie In Shampoo (1975), And Jon Voight And Jane Fonda In Coming Home (1979).

Crafting Seminal Films That Steered Clear Of Mainstream Conventions Yet Attracted Both Popular And Critical Praise, Ashby Became One Of The Quintessential Directors Of The 1970S New Hollywood Movement.No Matter How Much Success Ashby Achieved, He Was Never Able To Escape The Ghosts Of His Troubled Childhood. The Divorce Of His Parents, His Father'S Suicide, And His Own Marriage And Divorceall Before The Age Of Nineteenled To A Lifelong Struggle With Drugs For Which He Became Infamous In Hollywood. And Yet, Contrary To Mythology, It Was Not Ashby'S Drug Abuse That Destroyed His Career But A Fundamental Mismatch Between The Director And The Stifling Climate Of 1980S Studio Filmmaking. Although His Name May Not Be Recognized By Many Of Today'S Filmgoers, Hal Ashby Is Certainly Familiar To Filmmakers. Despite His Untimely Death In 1988, His Legacy Of Innovation And Individuality Continues To Influence A Generation Of Independent Directors, Including Wes Anderson, Sean Penn, And The Coen Brothers, Who Place Substance And Style Above The Pursuit Of Boxoffice Success.In This Groundbreaking And Exhaustively Researched Biography, Nick Dawson Draws On Firsthand Interviews And Personal Papers From Ashby'S Estate To Offer An Intimate Look At The Tumultuous Life Of An Artist Unwilling To Conform Or Compromise.
