The Instant New York Times Bestseller • One of People Magazine's Top 10 Books of the Year
"The rare celebrity memoir that's also a literary read. As funny as it is reflective, it shares stories behind Pacino's hardscrabble upbringing, classic films and journey to icon status." —People Magazine
From one of the most iconic actors in film history, Sonny Boy is an astonishingly revelatory account of a creative life lived in full.
To the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. By 1975, he had starred in four landmark films—The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon—performances that became legendary and changed his life forever.
But by that time, Pacino had already lived several lives. A fixture in New York’s avant-garde theater, he worked odd jobs to support his craft. Raised by a fiercely loving but mentally unwell mother and her parents after his father left, he was shaped by the streets of the South Bronx and a spirited group of young friends. A teacher’s recognition of his talent led him to the High School of Performing Arts, setting him on the path to greatness.
Sonny Boy reveals a man with nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide. From his iconic roles and collaborations to the tension between creativity and commerce, Pacino shares it all. At the heart of the book is his enduring love for his craft—a passion that has outlasted wealth, fame, and fortune, and has defined a life devoted to art.
