JAMES CAAN: THE MEMOIR
With deep layers of macho things; he's very noisy and very extroverted. But when you get him in a corner, you realize that he's incredibly smart and very sensitive.
Here is the story of James Edmund Caan , a tough-guy leading man who sometimes played supporting roles in his career.
The genres of drama, humor, suspense, action and even movies for children were all well within his capabilities. Save a few, who else could have starred in "The Godfather" and "Elf"? And now, James Caan is most remembered for his performance as the volatile Sonny Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather .
James Caan, lovingly known as Jimmy to his friends, was an actor of a unique breed who relished in subverting assumptions. Caan was an iconoclast. He refused to be defined by his leading-man good looks and instead transformed them into something much more intriguing and mysterious.
In the 1970s, "Hollywood" was known for its cynicism, and James Caan was a new sort of actor that emerged from that environment. He received nominations for the Academy Award, the Emmy Award, and Golden Globes. Even though James Caan won none of these awards, with a fair amount of cynicism, he maintained profound regard and enthusiasm for his art despite the fact that he was sometimes a volatile presence. His professional life stretched sixty years, and on the day he passed away on July 6, 2022, he was still going strong as an icon we knew for decades.

So poorly written. I suspect this is AI generated or written by someone with very poor English language skills. It needs more than editing - it needs a complete rewrite.
