Yet as bold as the stamp of his personality was on each film, he was reticent about his personal life. Basically shy, and intensely private, he was known to enjoy making up stories about himself, some of them based loosely on fact but many of them pure fabrications. Ford preferred instead to let his films speak for him. What mattered to Ford was always what was up there on the screen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, in this definitive look at the life and career of one of America's true cinematic giants, noted biographer and critic Scott Eyman, working with the full participation of the Ford estate, has managed to document and delineate both aspects of John Ford's life--the human and the legend.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott Eyman was formerly the literary critic at \u003ci\u003eThe Palm Beach Post\u003c\/i\u003e and is the author or coauthor of fifteen books, including the bestseller \u003ci\u003eJohn Wayne\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePieces of My Heart\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eYou Must Remember This\u003c\/i\u003e with actor Robert Wagner.
