Synopsis

Accomplished American actor David Carradine was both an enigma and a chameleon. As the eldest son of legendary character actor John Carradine, he appeared in over a hundred feature films and was nominated four times for a Golden Globe Award. On June 4, 2009, Carradine was mysteriously found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand. He left many unanswered and disturbing questions behind . . .

 

On the first anniversary of his death, read the inside story behind David Carradine's life and legacy:

 

  • Learn how he made a huge career comeback as Bill (codename: "Snake Charmer") in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films

  • Learn about the dynamic and unstable marriage Carradine had with author, Marina Anderson, Carradine's fourth ex-wife along with her own eventful life and spiritual journey

  • Discover how Carradine's chronic alcoholism and how his unusual sexual interests made it difficult for him to maintain intimate relationships

 

Carradine's ex-wife and author Marina Anderson reveals the dark side of David's intense persona with a balanced portrayal – both critical and sympathetic. What was David Carradine really like behind the cameras? What influences shaped him personally and professionally? How did Marina cope with Carradine's brilliant, but often strange behavior?
