3.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes one buys a wrong book, April 13, 2008

By	Markku Ojanen (Lempäälä Finland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book because of those five stars it got. I have seen His Girl Friday and it was a great film. I was seeking a book which tells a lot about films and making them, but I do not care about American theater or rich or famous people or beautiful clothes or Frank Sinatra. Rosalind Russell was abviously a sensible person and did not make any scandals, which is great. Some stories were good, but some parts like the chapter about Sinatra I skipped over. Thus my evaluation reflects my taste. This was not nearly so much a film book I hoped.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a fabulous dame!, September 21, 2007

By	A. Simons (Houston TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read this book about 30 years ago and recently saw a reference to it, so I just had to get a copy. She still leaps off the page, with humor, sparkling wit, and common sense. Rosalind Russell was a STAR, but always seemed down-to-earth and approachable. Her recollections of Hollywood and the theater still seem valid - she certainly didn't suffer fools gladly, but was able to laugh at herself, too. She was a very smart cookie, and had a happy home life (or so it seems - you never know what's been glossed over, but no matter). For anyone interested in a really good star autobiography, this fills the bill. Her charm will never wither!
