Pamela Harriman: Behind the scenes,
By
This review is from: Life of the Party (Paperback)
Ogden has done a masterful job in telling the Pamela Harriman story. He had the good fortune to interview Pamela at length (before she decided she wanted to write a political journal with herself at the center, instead of an autobiography with Ogden's help) and he helps us understand the motives behind her love affairs and marriages. An experienced journalist, Ogden writes well and objectively. It remains a mystery to readers of all of Pamela's biographies exactly what made her fascinating to some of the world's most important and successful men. I guess you had to be there. If you are interested in reading about a "courtesan" who continually reinvented herself and was finally rewarded with the job of her dreams - Ambassador to France - this is the book to read. In essence, she was a minor player who cast a big shadow thanks to her relentless self-promotion and ability to enchant otherwise smart, powerful men.
