3.0 out of 5 stars How accurate is an "unauthorized" biography?, May 12, 2003

By	Monica K. Van Ness (Aurora, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The professional information is most likely accurate. A listing
of movies and television roles for Dean Stockwell could be found
in a number of places, and then used in this book. You cannot,
however, really vouch for all other information if the author
never even had the chance to interview the actor and find out if
stories and anecdotes are true. I didn't get the impression that
anything was over-played, but I still wondered if we had the whole
story. Being something of a Dean Stockwell fan, I would rather
like to know that he was really well-represented by a book such
as this. (I do have to say, though, that the author of this
book never made me feel that she was trying to sensationalize
any part of the story.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but I wish it was longer, October 15, 2008

By	Dead Kennedys (Oz) - See all my reviews

This was a good biography of one of my favorite actors, the talented Dean Stockwell, but when I finished, I felt there could have been more. It didn't feel quite as finished as other biographies I'd read. Plus, there were no pictures! Boo! I'm a big photo fan (but there's plenty to be found on the internet...). Pictures would have been nice. Otherwise, it's a fairly good biography; I just felt it was lacking a little more depth in some places.
