His charismatic performances in movies like \u003ci\u003eDays of Heaven, The Right Stuff, Country, and Thunderheart\u003c\/i\u003e—as well as his screenplay for \u003ci\u003eParis, Texas\u003c\/i\u003e—have made him an indelible presence in American film. Rock 'n' roller, rancher, and rodeo prizewinner, he has toured with Bob Dylan, hung out with the Rolling Stones, collaborated with Patti Smith, and raised a family with Jessica Lange. Yet throughout he has remained an enigmatic figure. In this acclaimed biography, now fully updated, Don Shewey explores the life and works of this American visionary, illuminating Shepard's unique success in straddling the divide between serious artist and pop-culture hero.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42278526517426,"sku":"9780306807701","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/7418\/0786\/files\/O_21934697-2fae-45b7-b7a0-a3afd7cc44a0.jpg?v=1759518045","url":"https:\/\/shop.hachettebookgroup.com\/products\/sam-shepard","provider":"Hachette Book Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
