A trainer shares true stories of
famous lion, orangutan, and other animal actors that “will hold
readers enthralled” (School Library Journal).
They are major stars who do not speak a word onscreen, yet are world
famous for their compelling performances. Who are they? The animal
stars of the big screen, of course! In The Beauty of the Beasts,
Ralph Helfer shares with the reader his love of animals and his work
with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars: Clarence the Cross‑Eyed
Lion, Gentle Ben, the Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull, Clint Eastwood’s
orangutan sidekick Clyde, and many more. Helfer shares his
philosophy on training these beautiful beasts to do amazing feats
and maximize their acting potential without coercion. Join Ralph
Helfer in his exploration of animal acting and read of his masterful
use of TLC to work with these phenomenal, non‑human actors.
