Celebrate the legacy of Bruce Williss career in a book the Los Angeles Times calls "a thoughtful guide."



On a nondescript Wednesday morning in the waning days of March 2023, one of the biggest movie stars on the planet called it quits. No press conference had been organized, the Hollywood trades received no advance notice, and there was a conspicuous lack of the fanfare that usually accompanies such bombshell announcements. Instead, the news that Bruce Willis was retiring from acting came in a simple statement on his ex-wife Demi Mooreâs Instagram pageâ"along with the tragic news that Willis was suffering from aphasia, a cognitive disorder that subsequently worsened to become frontotemporal dementia.



It was a sad conclusion to the storied career of a man who had at one point been the highest-paid actor in Hollywood. That career is the subject of Sean OâConnellâs definitive survey of Bruce Willis the actor, the cultural icon, and the man. Here, OâConnell compiles exclusive, original interviews with directors who have worked with Willis, as well as film critics and journalists who have analyzed his career, into a celebratory compendium. It also features the authorâs analysis of Willisâs films, his career arc, and the industry that made him a star. And it includes capsule reviews of every Bruce Willis film, making this a complete handbook to a true American original.

Industry Reviews

Itâs hard not to read OâConnellâs book as a valediction of sorts, though it is also, as the title suggests, a celebrationâ¦. OâConnell, a veteran journalist and author, proves a thoughtful guideâ¦. we ride along on a fascinating career that encompassed both stardom and acting as its own reward.
â" The Los Angeles Times
