Michael Munn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Munn (October 8, 1952 – July 2022) was a British author,[1] film historian,[2] and actor.

Munn's biography of Steve McQueen has been described as preposterous,[3] and doubt cast on his biographies of Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Sir Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, and David Niven.[4]

Munn lived in Sudbury, Suffolk. He died from a heart attack in July 2022, at the age of 69.[5][6]
