| Notes: | No cause was too unpopular, no mode of behavior too unconventional for Darrow. As a man, he followed the law of his own needs, flouting his marriage vows with a steady stream of beautiful women, dissipating his magnificent energies through a killing pace of work and pleasure. As a lawyer, he braved the wrath of the entire nation in an unforgettable courtroom dramas that pitted one man against the entrenched forces of the Establishment. |
