5.0 out of 5 stars What a lovely woman! What an interesting life!, March 13, 2000
By "chicagomary" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
I have always enjoyed Ms. Garrett's work and this book made me love her all the more. Her enduring love affair with Larry Parks, her interesting family, her career and personality made me wish I could have dinner with her or better yet, have her be a houseguest for a month or two! This was a most pleasant, informative read.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like show business, read this book!, May 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Betty Garrett and Other Songs: A Life on Stage and Screen (Hardcover)
A wonderfully honest and engaging book...I have always loved to watch Betty Garrett's work, and reading about it all from her candid and funny perspective was a joy. From the MGM days to Archie Bunker to today, this book provides insights that a lot of others miss. Interesting, too, to read her perspective on the McCarthy madness. I'm an actress just starting out, and Betty's love for the work really inspired me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, April 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Betty Garrett and Other Songs: A Life on Stage and Screen (Hardcover)
This book made me laugh and cry. It was a touching memoir by a great lady, full of the details of an earlier, more innocent Hollywood. The section on McCarthy is chilling.
