Big Lou: The Life and Career of Actor Louis Edmonds Book

Louis Edmonds was well known for his TV soap opera roles as Dark Shadows' Roger Collins and All My Children's Langley Wallingford, but his career spanned much further than that. Working with such performers as Charlton Heston, Kaye Ballard, Joan Bennett, and Carol Burnett, he was a pioneer performer on live television in the 1950s and played numerous critically acclaimed roles on and off Broadway and on TV for five decades. Throughout his life, the gay actor battled--and conquered--depression, alcoholism, and cancer. In a revealing biography, author Craig Hamrick chronicles the life and career of this remarkable man.
