James Mason (1909–1984) was born to be an actor. He just didn’t know it. A Cambridge graduate with a degree in architecture, he arrived in London at a time when nothing was being built. With few prospects, he turned to the stage, where his modest experience proved enough to land him a spot in repertory theater. Those early performances led to film roles in which he was initially deemed "adequate" before finding his niche as a brooding, sophisticated villain—an identity that made him a star in British cinema. At the height of his fame and spurred on by his Hollywood-obsessed wife, Pamela, Mason made the leap to California. There, he built a successful career in films that are now deemed classics, like A Star Is Born and Lolita, while attempting to enjoy the trappings of Hollywood life—lavish parties, late nights on the town, and high-profile friendships. But in spite of a beloved collection of cats, whimsically captured in his own sketches in this volume, his sumptuous Beverly Hills house never truly felt like home. Surprising everyone—including Pamela—after Lolita’s New York premiere, Mason abruptly boarded a one-way flight to Switzerland, where he would spend the rest of his life, often travelling with his second wife to remote movie locations around the world, and settling happily into the role of character actor. James Mason: The Movie Star Hollywood Forgot explores the complexities of Mason’s life and career—a reluctant star whose refined demeanor and enigmatic choices made him one of cinema’s most intriguing figures. From British popularity to Hollywood prestige, from exile to final triumph, his story is one of artistry, reinvention, and quiet rebellion.

'The decision to publish this book has been very difficult, and taken with heavy hearts ... My reason for writing it is simple: to give an account of the truth ... Writing this memoir has entailed recording some very personal, intimate and emotional aspects of our lives. Sharing these with strangers does not come easily to me, but if I hadn't done so I would not have felt the book gave as full a picture as it is possible for me to give. As with every action we have taken over the last five years, it ultimately boils down to whether what we are doing could help us to find Madeleine. When the answer to that question is yes, or even possibly, our family can cope with anything ... Nothing is more important to us than finding our little girl.'Kate McCann

Madeleine is the story of a great writer's marriage, a deeply disturbing account of Andr Gide's feelings towards his beloved and long-suffering wife. It was a relationship which Gide exalted-he termed it the central drama of his existence-yet deliberately shrouded in mystery. This was no ordinary marriage. Madeleine Rondeaux, two years older than her cousin Andr Gide, became his wife after Gide's first visit to Algeria. In his Journal, Gide refers to her as Emmanu le or as Em. Only in this book, published a few months after his death, does Gide call her by her real name and painfully reveal the nature of their life together. All of Gide's vast work may be viewed as a confession, impelled by his need to write what he believed to be true about himself. In Madeleine this act of confession reaches a crowning point. It is a complex tale by a complex man about a complex relationship. "Ranks among the masterpieces of Gide's vibrating prose. It is also the most tragic personal document to have emanated from Gide's pen."-New York Times.
