Scott O'Brien

Scott O'Brien, film biographer, was born in Ogden, Utah. He has written various articles for publications such as Films of the Golden Age and Filmax. His first book, Kay Francis - I Can't Wait to be Forgotten, was released by BearManor Media in 2006. It was among Classic Images magazine's "Best of the Year." O'Brien's second release was, Virginia Bruce - Under My Skin. Daeida Magazine declared, "O'Brien successfully brings Virginia Bruce to life in a way that is believable, intelligent and never pitiable ... a well-researched, tactful, and skilled examination into the tragedy of a talented, beautiful and popular figure in film history." In 2010, O'Brien's "Ann Harding - Cinema's Gallant Lady," was listed among the "Best Film Books for 2010" by the Huffington Post. Author Mick LaSalle (Complicated Women)wrote, "I'm especially impressed that Scott O'Brien has managed to come up with a thick, fact-filled, smart and very readable biography of this enormous talent." Scott's fourth release is the up-coming biography on the much neglected stage and film actress, Ruth Chatterton. It is scheduled for a 2013 publication date from BearManor.
