About the book
Having become established as a global screen idol, respected actor and sex symbol during the 1980s, Mickey Rourke s well-publicised personal problems saw him labelled an uncontrollable maverick. These issues drove him to turn his back on acting to embark upon a brief but intense sojourn as a professional boxer. After retiring from the ring, Rourke set about re-establishing himself in Hollywood a process that culminated with his portrayal of Marv, a lovelorn sociopath, in the big-budget adaptation of Frank Miller s acclaimed�Sin City�graphic novels, as well as in Darren Aronofsky s�The Wrestler, in which Rourke s character tries to find redemption from his older life. Featuring extensive interviews with Rourke,�High and Low, charts the trajectory of this unique actor s amazing life.
