Editorial Reviews

Review

“Well-researched and comprehensive . . . includes a lively biography, complete credits, annotated bibliography, and other valuable source material.”–American Cinematographer

“Margie Schultz has done a magnificent job of documenting Ann Sothern's career. Following a concise, yet detailed, biographical essay, Ms. Schultz provides documentation on Ann Sothern's career (both as Sothern and Harriette Lake) in films, theatre, radio, television, and on disc. (She even includes a listing of products which the actress has endorsed!) There is also a more-than-400 entry, annotated bibliography, which is quite extraordinary in its breadth and depth. What I like about this book is that its author never comes up with the obvious. In the entry on the Maine-located The Whales of August, she includes a review not from a major source, but from one of Maine's newspapers, which examines Sothern's performance from a regional viewpoint.”–Classic Images

By	Carol Coley "mrjacklord" (Locust, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This has to be the best guide of all to anything related to Ann Sothern. Excellent source (and checklist) is helping start a collection. VERY WELL-WRITTEN and great restoration photography!Schultz is by far, the queen of Bio-bibliographies, her research is unsurpassable! Definitely worth every penny of your investment!!!
