Screen Sirens Scream! showcases fascinating interviews with twenty actresses from science fiction, horror, film noir, and mystery films of the 1930s through the 1960s. Each interview is preceded by an informative introduction. The actresses range from Sandy Descher and Mary Murphy to Paula Raymond and Joan Taylor. The films span the cinematic spectrum from The Mummy's ghost, Tarzan and the Mermaids, and This Island Earth, to Frankenstein, Phantom from Space, and Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. Some of these interviews were gleaned from fan magazines, others are original with this volume. Screen Sirens Scream! is a valued, insightful, highly recommended addition to film buff and cinema student move reference book collections.

This is a colorful and entertaining collection of interview articles with a varied group of interesting female performers, including Faith Domergue, Linda Christian (Tyrone Power's wife), Joan Taylor and Mary Harris, the little girl who appeared in the original FRANKENSTEIN. A REFRESHING AND DELIGHTFUL TREAUSRY THAT YOU WILl READ AND REREAD OFTEN.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The women were very candid about their careers and their post acting lives. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in film or biographies.
