Publisher's Note Bing Crosby was one of the most popular entertainers ever to appear of film. He was a symbol of an era, embodying an old-fashioned nostalgia and a golden age in cinema. His films, from the nostalgic charm of "White Christmas" to "Going My Way," which won him an Oscar, have a timeless and enduring appeal. Strikingly handsome, with a soft, crooning voice and a relaxed demeanor, Crosby was a natural heart-throb; yet behind the image of the all-American icon was a fierce, deeply complex individual. In this new biography, Michael Freedland writes candidly about his subject. Drawing on new material, rare photographs, and previously unpublished interviews, BING CROSBY: THE ILLUSTRATED BIOGRAPHY is a long-overdue portrait of one of America's brightest stars. Among Michael Freedland's many books are ALL THE WAY: A BIOGRAPHY OF FRANK SINATERA, IRVING BERLIN, SEAN CONNERY, and THE TWO LIVES OF ERROL FLYNN.
