From on-the-record interviews with 217 people, including Belushi's widow, his former partner Dan Aykroyd, Belushi's movie directors including Jack Nicholson and Steven Spielberg, actors Chevy Chase, Robin Williams, and Carrie Fisher, the movie executives, the agents, Belushi's drug dealers, and those who live in the show business underground, the author has written a close portrait of a great American comic talent, and of his struggle to succeed and to survive that ended in tragedy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing diaries, accountants' records, phone bills, travel records, medical records, and interviews with firsthand witnesses, Woodward has followed Belushi's life from childhood in a small town outside Chicago to his meteoric rise to fame. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBob Woodward has written a spellbinding account of rise and fall, a cautionary tale for our times, and a poignant and gentle portrait of a young man who had so much, gave so much, and lost so much.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBob Woodward is an associate editor at \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post \u003c\/i\u003ewhere he has worked for 50 years.
