5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, Low Key Biography of the Actress Agnes Moorehead, July 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Agnes Moorehead: A very private person (Hardcover)

Light, easy going biography focuses on the actress Agnes Moorehead as the author knew her, rather than on her life in general. The book consists of anecdotes from friends, fans and coworkers that focus mainly on Ms. Moorehead's deeply held religious beliefs and the many kindnesses she bestowed on others throughout her life. Those looking for controversy, deep dark secrets or skeletons in the closet will be disappointed, everyone else will find this short, to the point biography both entertaining and informative.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good read worth your time, October 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Agnes Moorehead: A very private person (Hardcover)

The best part of this fascinating little book is the "tour" of the Miss Mooreheads house that the author provides. Dr. Sherk takes the reader into Ms. Moorehead's den and libraries and describes everthing from the rugs on the floor to the titles of books on the shelves. Also, he relates stores told by friends of Ms Moorehead which describe what a grand lady she must have been.

One word of warning, however. There are at least a couple of errors. One seems to be a misprint, the other gives credit to actor Tony Randall for having done a voice-over that was actually done by comedian Paul Lynde.

This review is from: Agnes Moorehead: A very private person (Hardcover)

This book gives you a fascinating peek into the wonderful red-headed actor's life. This woman that is probably best known for playing Endora was a staunch Republican and a conservative Christian. She rubbed elbows with the greatest stars ever to walk on earth. She helped countless new actors and actresses behind the scenes. If you love Agnes Moorehead's acting, you will love this book.
