ohn Belushi was found dead of a
drug overdose March 5, 1982, in a
seedy hotel bungalow off Sunset
Boulevard in Hollywood. Belushi s
death was the beginning of a trail that
led Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward on
an investigation that examines the dark side of
American sh o w business- TV, rock and roll, and
the movie industry. From on-the-record inter-
views with 217 people, including Belushi s
widow, his former partner Dan Aykroyd,
Belushi s movie directors including Jack
Nicholson and Steven Spielberg, actors Chevy
Chase, Robin Williams and Carrie Fisher, the
movie executives, the agents, Belushi s drug
dealers, and those who live in the show business
underground, the author has written a close
portrait of a great American comic talent, and of
his struggle to succeed and to survive that ended
in tragedy.
Using diaries, accountants records, phone
bills, travel records, medical records and inter-
views with firsthand witnesses, Woodward has
followed Belushi s fife from childhood in a small
town outside Chicago (Wheaton, Illinois-also
Woodward s hometown) to his meteoric career
that started at the famous Chicago comedy
troupe Second City, proceeded to New York s
National Lampoon organization, then went on to
the wildly popular NBC television s "Saturday
Night Live," the greatly successful movie Animal
House, a #1 Blues Brothers hit album, more
films and then plans for films that this gifted
actor did not five to make.
Wired is also the story of the battle and debate
among Belushi s friends, family, and the direc-
tors, producers, writers and stars about how to
save him from drugs and harness his singular
and explosive personafity and talent. Why did
they fail?
