From one of the most iconic actors in the history of film, an astonishingly revelatory account of a creative life in fullTo the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. He landed his first leading role, in The Panic in Needle Park, in 1971, and by 1975, he had starred in four movies—The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon—that were not just successes but landmarks in the history of film. Those performances became legendary and changed his life forever. Not since Marlon Brando and James Dean in the late 1950s had an actor landed in the culture with such force.

But Pacino was in his mid thirties by then, and had already lived several lives. A fixture of avant-garde theater in New York, he had led a bohemian existence, working odd jobs to support his craft. He was raised by a fiercely loving but mentally unwell mother and her parents after his father left them when he was young, but in a real sense he was raised by the streets of the South Bronx, and by the troop of buccaneering young friends he ran with, whose spirits never left him. After a teacher recognized his acting promise and pushed him toward New York’s fabled High School of Performing Arts, the die was cast. In good times and bad, in poverty and in wealth and in poverty again, through pain and joy, acting was his lifeline, its community his tribe.

Sonny Boy is the memoir of a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide. All the great roles, the essential collaborations, and the important relationships are given their full due, as is the vexed marriage between creativity and commerce at the highest levels. The book’s golden thread, however, is the spirit of love and purpose. Love can fail you, and you can be defeated in your ambitions—the same lights that shine bright can also dim. But Al Pacino was lucky enough to fall deeply in love with a craft before he had the foggiest idea of any of its earthly rewards, and he never fell out of love. That has made all the difference.

Praise for Al Pacino:‘Al Pacino is magical’ Martin Scorsese‘A legend’ Francis Ford Coppola‘So unique and special’ Robert De Niro‘A singular, special talent, whose work stands the test of time’ Robin Williams‘A wicked sense of humour’ Oliver Stone‘Charming, hilarious, a nonstop talker. There is an aspect of him that is like a lost orphan, like this kind of crazy idiot savant’ Diane Keaton‘As Michael in The Godfather, Pacino was everything I wanted that character to be on screen. I couldn’t believe it. It was, in my eyes, a perfect performance, a work of art’ Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather ‘Comedic, talented, and certifiably insane’ Johnny Depp‘Al is money, the man in charge, making it happen. I got to act with Al Pacino and it was worth more to me than anything’ Samuel L Jackson‘A marvellous actor and man’ Sean Connery‘The depth of Al Pacino's artistry is only more overwhelmed by the generosity of his spirit and his warmth. Al Pacino is Van Gogh. Modigliani' Andy Garcia‘The greatest actor in the world’ Jamie Foxx

Nice brackets
Size: 11.25 Inch, Number of Items: 8, Size: 11.25 Inch, Number of Items: 8
The brackets look great and fit a 1x12 board perfectly. They've been installed for a few days and seem to be sturdy. So far, the only negative is the hardware, as other reviewers have mentioned. Initially, I had some trouble locating the stud and decided to use the drywall anchors. I got one bracket installed and the anchor was already pulling out of the wall. Overall, I think the brackets are great, but just use your own screws and drywall anchors (if needed).

Well made. Sturdy.

I bought these for an alcove. The brackets came in great condition. I didnt notice any scratched. Mounting… the brackets are not centered on the wall, but are centered on the studs. I cant do anything about the stud placement. I bought a 2x8x10 board and cut it into 40 in sections. After placing the brackets on the wall the boards fit beautifully in place. (I used the long stud screws that came with the brackets) I havent screwed the boards to the wall (those screws also included) and may not. I like being able to pull a board out and run cables behind, if needed. I think the boards are sturdy enough that I wont have an issue with tipping, since the right most stud is at the corner of the wall.

Great for the price

This 10" Shelf Brackets come with all different kind of hardware to install. For drywall, concrete, wood, very smart idea from the seller. You don't have to run to a hardware store for that. I thought it was fantastic idea to help the customer. The Brackets look very strong and finish is great.

Very heavy duty shelf brackets. Good quality.
Size: 9.25 Inch, Number of Items: 6
When they say Heavy duty they mean it!! These brackets are very strong. I would use them to hold a large shelf maybe even one that is wide like 4 inches. Not suitable for what I was envisioning. I just need a simple lightweight shelf and this is way to heavy. Will need to attach to stud or use an anchor. I should have paid closer attention to the description. These come with different types of anchors and one even says it can be used on brick. I believe it.
