{"product_id":"ray-winstone-nigel-goodall-9781844546596","title":"Ray Winstone: The Biography","description":"From humble beginnings to the glitz of Hollywood, Ray Winstone has made a name for himself as the ultimate screen hard man. But there's much more to Ray's on-screen tough-guy image, and this biography reveals how his path to the top has been anything but smooth. Ray's life began as a rebellious schoolboy boxing champion who was expelled from drama school, but he later made an audition that would prove to be his big break--the lead in Alan Clarke's \u003ci\u003eScum\u003c\/i\u003e. Ray went on to cement his place in the pantheon of British acting greats with his breathtaking performance in \u003ci\u003eNil By Mouth\u003c\/i\u003e while subsequent roles in \u003ci\u003eSexy Beast\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRipley's Game\u003c\/i\u003e won him plaudits and continued his tradition of portraying tough, uncompromising men. A lesser-known side of Ray is covered here as well, as he has tempered these roles with those in more light-hearted romantic comedies. Married for almost 30 years, and a dedicated family man with three daughters, Ray's story is an inspiring, gritty tale of a rebel made good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Goodall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844546594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844546596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e John Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Nigel Goodall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623317680383,"sku":"9781844546596","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ray-winstone-nigel-goodall-9781844546596","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
