A Well Written and Fun History,
This review is from: Attack of the B Queens (Paperback)
I found Attack of the B Queens to be a very well written and fun history of Bfilm actresses. In particular, I enjoyed reading Brinke Stevens insightful and personal look at the heigth of the Scream Queen era. It was fun reading chapter by Linnea Quigley and Debbie Rochon as all of these ladies (along with the additional contributors) are well versed in both the history and the inner workings of the movie business. Definitely a great read for all fans of B movies.
