Drawing on more than 100 new interviews with Cage's collaborators-including filmmakers David Lynch, John Patrick Shanley, Mike Figgis, Martha Coolidge, and Amy Heckerling-this book offers a revealing portrait of Cage's origin story as a member of the Coppola family, his early roles in low-budget teen films, and hisrise to stardom with memorable performances in cult films like Raising Arizona, Moonstruck, and Wild at Heart. The book examines how Cage drew on influences as eclectic as silent cinema and German Expressionism while displaying an intense commitment to his performances both on- and off-screen. The book demystifies the actor's onscreen eccentricities and argues that his commercial failures are as interesting as his successes. How Coppola Became Cage meticulously traces Cage's career from 1981, when he was a young drama student at Beverly Hills High, to 1995, when he gave an Oscar-winning performance as a suicidal alcoholic in Leaving Las Vegas."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Cage, Nicolas, $d 1965- 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240103010121.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD472A44AA0511EE99E4BB4527ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
