The true story of John (Joseph) Merrickmdash;a.k.a. the Elephant Manmdash;has captured the imagination of generations of audiences; critics; actors and filmmakers. In 1978; producer Jonathan Sanger received a screenplay from two unknown writers about a hideously disfigured man who refused to fall victim to despair and instead exemplified human dignity. Reading it (twice); Sanger was determined that Merrickrsquo;s story would be told. This book is Sangerrsquo;s unvarnished first-person account of how The Elephant Man (1980) was made. His adventure in filmmakingmdash;itself a study in triumph over despairmdash;involved special effects nightmares; scheduling conflicts; location issues and many risky decisions. Assembling a team that included Mel Brooks (executive producer); David Lynch (director) and actors John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins; Sanger persevered in making this inspiring; award-winning film.
