註釋
Emanuel Goldenberg was born in Romania and from the age of ten grew up in New York's Lower East Side. He trained at the legendary Theater Guild, changed his name, and starred in many successful Broadway plays before moving to Hollywood.
Among his most famous films were
Double Indemnity
with Barbara Stanwyck,
The Stranger
with Orson Welles,
Key Largo
with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall,
The Ten Commandments
with Charlton Heston,
The Cincinnati Kid
with Steve McQueen, and, of course,
Little Caesar
.
After twenty successful years in film, Robinson's career was shattered by the McCarthy Commission. Although there was never any concrete proof that Robinson was in fact a member of the Communist party, it took five years for him to clear his name. In this fascinating biography, Alan L. Gansberg reveals the man behind the public face, his many memorable roles among more than 100 films, and his struggle to find steady work in Hollywood again.
Includes 16 pages of photos.
