**The New York Times Best Seller.
**
Part biography, part critical appreciation, part love letter, and all
fun, this enormous full-color volume, packed with color film stills and
behind-the-scenes photography, chronicles every Murray performance in
loving detail, recounting all the milestones, legendary "Murray
stories," and controversies in the life of this enigmatic performer.
He's played a deranged groundskeeper, a bellowing lounge singer, a
paranormal exterminator, and a grouchy weatherman. He is William James
"Bill" Murray, America's greatest national treasure. From his childhood
lugging golf bags at a country club to his first taste of success on
Saturday Night Live, from his starring roles in Hollywood blockbusters
to his reinvention as a hipster icon for the twenty-first century, The
Big Bad Book of Bill Murray chronicles every aspect of his
extraordinary life and career.
He's the sort of actor who can do Hamlet and Charlie's Angels in the
same year. He shuns managers and agents, and he once agreed to voice the
lead in Garfield because he mistakenly believed it was a Coen Brothers
film. He's famous for crashing house parties all over New York City--and
if he keeps photobombing random strangers, he might just break the
Internet.
