The real Pink Panther

 
Drawing on previously unseen material and interviews with stars of the films and crew members, along with friends and colleagues of Peter Sellers, Robert Sellers presents the untold story and some of the secrets behind the Pink Panther films. The original Pink Panther movie proved popular enough to spawn eight sequels. The films also inspired a popular animated TV series based on the pink panther cartoon character that appeared in the film's credit sequences. In the 2000s, comedy legend Steve Martin twice stepped into the role of Inspector Clouseau. But behind the laughs, there was madness and darkness, and at the series' heart was one of cinema's most tragic figures: Peter Sellers. A comedic genius, Sellers could be temperamental, unprofessional, and unpredictable. This book reveals many of the Pink Panther's secrets for the first time.
