NO Bombshell here!

Brazillian Bombshell is a wonderful warm biography of Carmen Miranda. If you even think you love her this is a must read. It dispells all the Hollywood Publicity Machine foolishness about her life as well as the RCA Victor Bio bloopers. It's all finally straightened out, and now we, Carmen's Fans and Carmen herself, can rest knowing that the story has been told properly. It's about time!
