Customer Reviews

Almost loved it...

This was a gift for a friend's birthday. She really loved all the quotes from classic movie actresses but felt a little annoyed when actresses like JULIA ROBERTS were included in a collection that seems to be about the old time movie actresses. However, she got a lot of entertainment out of the book and in fact read the entire thing in one night.

lots of fun!

This book reviews the lives and careers of many classic movie actresses--including Marilyn Monroe, Hedy Lamarr, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, and many silent film stars you may not have heard of. It includes all the juicy gossip you could wish for, but not much detail about the films produced by these women. A fair number of pictures, and many "interesting fact" boxes. I really enjoyed this book, and I think classic film buffs or gossip-lovers would probably find it a good read.
