Bobby Darin 101  fan site Driving Mr. Spacey to offer some tips to Kevin's fans who do not know a lot about Bobby Darin (the subject of Mr. Spacey's next film). I hope this page is useful to them.
Books
There were four books written about Bobby in the past. These are:
Of the four above, all are GREAT, each special in their own way,
but the first three appear to be out of print and hard to find, but you can try Amazon.com
or ebay.com
to find used copies, or your local library may have them.
Online Options
Online, you could check out the
Section on Bobby's life
on this site.
You could read this sites short bio about Bobby
, for career highlights. To see what made
Bobby tick, you could browse the
magazine article section
on the site.
Video & TV
If you
want a good video documentary "Beyond The Song" is an excellent
option. Bobby was also the subject of an A&E Biography
which was included
in
The Songmakers Collection DVD & Video.
Bobby's A&E BIO often appears on A&E and The Biography channel. The same goes with Bobby's "Mysteries & Scandals"
which pops up on E! Television from time to time.
Movies
Bobby made many movies, he was an outstanding dramatic actor and comedian.
Check out the movie section on this site. It will tell you what is available.
Its hard to pinpoint a favorite here,
HE WAS GOOD AT EVERYTHING !
Sometimes Bobby's films appear on TV. They seem to go in cycles. Right now ( March 2003), "Hell Is For Heroes"
and
"State Fair"
are on the most, but
"Pressure Point" ( 1962), "Captain Newman MD",
"Come September"
and
"The Happy Ending" have been on television recently too. (Some of these
are on video, again check out this page.)
Highly recomended is "The Mack Is Back"
video or DVD
, which is Bobby's last filmed performance in 1973. (We recommend the DVD because it has much more
footage).
You can also buy" The Darin Invasion", which
was recorded in 1970 and features the song "Hi-De-Ho", that Kevin has sung publicly Darin-style....to be continued.....
