    Product Description
    Over a career spanning 30+ years, Christopher Walken has generated an enormous cult following. (If you need proof, just search for 'cowbell' on YouTube.) Christopher Walken A to Z offers the first biography of this quirky show-business legend, with entries on everything from Actor's Studio (the legendary theater workshop where Walken spent 11 years as a janitor) to Zombie Movies (one of his favorite film genres). Along the way, readers will discover:

    Walken has worked as a lion tamer.
    Walken has appeared in music videos for Madonna, Duran Duran, and Fatboy Slim.
    Walken is the most popular guest host in the history of Saturday Night Live.
    Walken has filmed a pilot for a cooking show, Cooking with Chris.
    Most incredibly,Walken has starred in some of the worst films of all time everything from Heaven's Gate to Kangaroo Jack and Gigli and yet his popularity never wanes.

    Complete with more than 50 behind-the-scenes photographs and tons of fascinating trivia, Christopher Walken A to Z offers a fascinating portrait of a Hollywood legend.

    3 out of 5 stars Glad I bought it here, instead of for full price!   October 6, 2009
    Janet Garnett (Kentucky, USA)
    Well, it'll do if you only need a somewhat non-personal overview of a pretty beloved eccentric type guy! It would be a bit more on course it there were more of a personal input from Mr. Walken. Oh there are a few quotes from him here & there, and of course, lots of outside observances of his supposed likes/dislikes. It's OK as far as an alphabetized movie listing. And it has its moments. I think it could be a lot more on target with the in put of very close friends and loving family.


    5 out of 5 stars He is the MAN and this book proves it!   July 15, 2009
    A. McLeod (USA)
    This book is great for a run through of all of Walken's works, quirks and general life. He is an incredible actor, full of wit, wonder, true to himself, and also, has a full measure of mystery. Great read.


    5 out of 5 stars The man, the myth, the legend   June 21, 2009
    M. Garland (AL, USA)
    What a character! I thought this was a biography type book when I bought it at my wife's request (she's a bigger Walken fan than I am), but it's not. More an encyclopedic A-Z reference than a read-through, it is still very entertaining and well-written.

    I enjoyed learning all the obscure trivia and recommend it. It is a little on the small side, but the man more than makes up for it!

    Enjoy!



    5 out of 5 stars Ya Gotta Love Chris!   June 14, 2009

    As a fan of Chris Walken, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I loved the birthday cake trick!


    4 out of 5 stars Not a coffee table book   January 18, 2009
    That's Fierce (NC, USA)
    0 out of 2 found this review helpful

    Like the title says, this is not coffee table book like I had thought (or at least hoped). It's actually a little smaller than most of the books on my shelf (the gold cover is nice though). But besides that it's great, fun little excerpts to just read about Christopher Walken... not something you'd read cover to cover, more of a reference book--something to keep out in a random place for sudden moments of boredom... pretty much exactly why I wanted it as a coffee table book
