Mark Twain once likened biographies to &ldquo;the clothes and buttons of the man&rdquo; saying &ldquo;the biography of the man himself cannot be written.&rdquo; The quote is a favorite of Patricia Bosworth, a 1950s model-actor turned biographer known for capturing the lives of Diane Arbus, Montgomery Clift, and Marlon Brando. All three were revered and haunted by internal demons&mdash;a narrative she knows too well. Bosworth's own father, Bartley Crum, was a left-wing lawyer who famously defended the Hollywood Ten before succumbing to his own psychological pain. It was her father's suicide, as well as her brother's six years earlier, that instilled a strong desire to seek out the stories of other tormented souls. Patricia Bosworth's book The Men in My Life turns that voyage inward, painting a picture of a resilient woman with a tragic story of her own. Originally released August 22nd, 2017. Patricia Bosworth passed away on April 2nd, 2020.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
