Bad Boy Drive: The life and fast times of Marlon Brando, Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper

Sellers, in his follow-up to the acclaimed Hellraisers, traces the intertwining lives and careers of four outrageous Hollywood movie mavericks.

“I don’t know what people expect when they meet me. They seem to be afraid that I’m going to piss in the potted palm and slap them on the ass.” Marlon Brando

“I should have been dead ten times over. I believe in miracles. It’s an absolute miracle that I’m still around.” Dennis Hopper

“You only lie to two people in your life: Your girlfriend and the police.” Jack Nicholson

“The best time to get married is noon. That way, if things don’t work out, you haven’t blown the whole day.” Warren Beatty


They’re the baddest bad asses Hollywood has ever seen. They are the men for whom rules did not apply, men for whom normal standards of behaviour were simply too wearisome to worry about. Bad Boy Drive is a whistle-stop tour of jaw-dropping sexual activity, misbehaviour of an Olympic standard, all-out excess and genuine madness. It’s a wonder Hollywood survived.
