The first ever Biography of Robert Newton... "He was never an actor, he was always like that, a little devil...!" The man laughs; laughter in his voice and in his eyes, glad at the rich memory. Lamorna, Cornwall, June 2005. From an idyll Cornish childhood to a desperate death amidst the Hollywood elite. Cowboy, beach-bum, loaded and flat broke. He survived the bloodiest naval arena in the second world war; married four times he failed as a husband and a father. He starred in dozens of films, dozens of plays. Newton was more than an actor, yet he is the quintessential pirate, Disney's 'Long John Silver', is the brutal 'Bill Sykes' in Oliver Twist. Farmer, tax exile, he ran his own theatre and loved Rolls Royces. In America and Australia. Generous, gregarious, needful, lost, he swept through life and left people reeling in his wake; Olivier, Burton, Coward, Wayne. Laughing, infected with his joyous lust for life. He hid discretion under a coat of folly, but he was the man who would tell you, tell everybody, loudly, that the Emperor was naked...

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1855 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xviii. From the preceding record, it is presumed, a tolerably correct view may be obtained of the life and labours of the late Dr. Robert Newton; and yet a few additional observations upon the prominent features of his character, confirmed and illustrated by some additional facts, may not be unacceptable to the reader, nor devoid of benefit. Personally considered, he was unquestionably one of the noblest specimens of human nature. He was somewhat taller than the generality of men, well proportioned in every part, robust, of great muscular power, evidently formed for activity, and capable of bearing almost any amount of labour. His breast was prominent, his shoulders broad, his gait firm and manly; so that even his appearance seemed to intimate that he was not born to spend his days in obscurity, but to take the lead among his contemporaries, and to answer some high and honourable purpose in life. His countenance. was eminently prepossessing, being indicative of good-nature, kindness, generosity, frankness, intelligence, and decision; and these peculiarities, with--"His fair large front, and eye sublime," at once impressed the persons who were brought into his presence, so as to command their respect, especially when they heard the sound of his incomparable voice. His noble bearing bespoke him as intended to "stand before Kings, and not before mean men." His mind was in beautiful correspondence with his outward frame; for he had a singular readiness of apprehension, facility in acquiring knowledge, a sound practical judgment, an easy and distinct utterance, and an instinctive perception of what is decorous and becoming; so that, without the rules of a polite and artificial training, he was naturally a thorough gentleman, without...

With over 65 books published, including the breathtaking (and somewhat autobiographical) A Day No Pigs Would Die, Robert Newton Peck has enjoyed an illustrious writing career. Now, in an autobiography as unique as he is, Peck tells his story through the people in his life. From his roots as a poor Vermont farmer’s son to his years as a soldier in World War II, from his time slogging away in a paper mill to his semi-retirement in Florida, Peck shows us people who too often go unseen and unheard–the country’s poor and uneducated. “For decades, I’ve examined the autobiographies of my fellow authors. Bah! Many could have been titled And Then I Wrote . . . So instead of my life and lit, here is the unusual, a tarnished treasury of plain people who enriched me, taught me virtues, and helped me hold a mite of manhood. They’re not fancy folk, so please expect no long-stemmed roses from a florist. They are, instead, the unarranged flora that I’ve handpicked from God’s greenhouse . . . weeds in bloom.” From the Hardcover edition.
