Wild Men

"Hollywood Hellraisers - The Wild Lives and Fast Times of Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson" by Robert Sellers Skyhorse Publishing 322 pages $24.95

The author alleges that:
For reasons of his own, Jack Nicholson spent three months totally nude. Family, friends, business people begged "Put on some clothes!" I'm sure he just did the Nicholson smile.

Marlon Brando, a neighbor, used to go to Jack's house and raid the refrigerator. His own was padlocked shut to keep him on his diet. As a token of appreciation, he'd sometimes leave his underpants.

Warren Beatty was said to have been intimate with: Julie Christi, Brigitte Bardot, Princess Margaret, Cher, Vivien Leigh, Jane Fonda, Catherine Deneuve, Barbra Streisand, Jackie Kennedy Onasis, Maria Callas, Natalie Wood and more.

Dennis Hopper used to snort three grams of cocaine to sober up enough to keep drinking. While shooting "Easy Rider" he didn't change clothes for six months. He also punched a hole in a coffee table -- with a dealer's head.

All this in just the first four pages of the book!
