You will find your idols (in most cases) were far from perfect.

Brindell If you're looking for some light, trashy reading, National Inquirer-style, here it is.Sure, many of these short, salacious biographies are sprinkled with undeniable facts, but many of the biographies' accusations and pot-shots are mined from one-source materials or from wholly incredible sources.You want evidence???? I'll expose two items because the book isn't worthy of more time:In the chapter covering John Barrymore, the author recounts Errol Flynn's absurd and often repeated tale of Raoul Walsh, Bev Allen & Charles Miller positioning Barrymore's corpse inside Flynn's home as a joke. The author neglects to mention that actor Paul Henreid claimed in his 1984 biography that it was Peter Lorre who engineered the rude joke. Both accounts in Flynn's and Henreid's memoirs are detailed, "first hand" accounts. One is a lie; it's likely both are.In the chapter concerning Greta Garbo, the author covers her childhood indoctrination into sex. The story he tells can only be found in Antoni Gronowicz's biography "Garbo--Her Story." Gronowicz has been virtually universally villified for the book's shoddy contents and his lack of journalistic skills and ethics. The book was released to capitalize on Garbo's recent death.I bought the book because the sample included an interesting portion of Julie Andrews biography. After I bought it, it was all downhill into sleezeville from there.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An Artless Portayal By IMHO I love films and admire the artists who create them. I also respect the separation between an artist's work and personal life. Unfortunately, there exists an industry devoted to blurring the line between these two. I do not like that industry and I do not like this book. Those who like sifting through the dirt of celebrity life may like this book. Those who enjoy wading through the mud of the amorous details of these lives may love this book. And anyone with a craving for a personal acquaintance with the homosexual behavior of celebrities must read this book - as I suspect you share an obsession with author Alan Royle. Mr. Royle's repeated claims of indifference regarding these details are only exceeded by his numerous yarns chronicling them. To be fair, I could only read about one half of this book - leaving me in the middle of the alphabet. Yes, the book is organized alphabetically by celebrity last name. When Mr. Royle resolved to document these personal details one might have thought he would have considered a chronological format. At a minimum it would have allowed some of the multiple partner portrayals to be grouped in his account. However, I am grateful that he didn't decide to organize them by degrees of separation or ardent act.
