Four years later, Byrne had been expelled from an English seminary and he quickly returned to his native Dublin. There he took odd jobs as a messenger boy and a factory labourer to get by. In his spare time he visited the cinema, where he could be alone and yet part of a crowd. It was here that he could begin to imagine a life beyond the grey world of ’60s Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIt was a friend who suggested Byrne join an amateur drama group, a decision that would change his life forever and launch him on an extraordinary forty-year career in film and theatre. Moving between sensual recollection of childhood in a now almost vanished Ireland and reflections on stardom in Hollywood and on Broadway, often through the lens of addiction. Hilarious and heartbreaking \u003ci\u003eWalking With Ghosts \u003c\/i\u003eis a lyrical homage to the people and landscapes that ultimately shape our destinies.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47845855002782,"sku":"TLD-9781529027457","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529027457.jpg?v=1781223015","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529027457","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
