YAWN!!!!!!!!!!,

This review is from: Star Myths: Show Business Biographies on Film (Hardcover)
I had high hopes for this book but it turned out to be as dry as three day old toast. The subject matter cries out for an entertaining look at the liberties Hollywood took with their bio-pics, but this reads like a bad thesis. No cigar here.
