5.0 out of 5 starsexcellent ribute to a great artist
By W. Russell on September 26, 2000
Format: Hardcover
Rather than a straight biography, this excellently compiled volume of writings and photos (many reproduced here for the first time) is an eloquent tribute to a truly great artist who graced the stage of the Metropolitan during the not-too-distant past when "the Met" really did hold the standard of greatness. One very amusing photo taken in Pons' dressing room shows her entertaining a group of young students, one of which is an enthralled Bernie Schwartz (later known as Tony Curtis). Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars"Hitting another High Note with Lily Pons"
By Richard Kendall on February 17, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I purchased this book to give to one of my vocal students.
Lily Pons was a personal friend of mine for over 30 years. I started writing to her when I was in high school. When I moved to California, she invited me to her home in Palm Springs for a visit.
I later saw and spent time with her as the years passed. I was her guest at her concert in Palm Springs and also at her appearance on the Merv Griffin Show in Hollywood. Unfortunately, this book is NOT
a true biography as we know the word. It is a collection of stories and public relations items collected. However, the photographs in the book are outstanding! I have a huge scrapbook on Pons and these photographs were not in my collection. The photos alone are worth the price of the book! She has always been my favorite singer; I adored the artist!

1.0 out of 5 starsLily Pons
By sowhat on April 23, 2009
Format: Hardcover
This book is nothing but a complilation of magazine articles. I was so disappointed. Nothing about her personal life that a fan doesnt already know basically she was married to Kostelantz and recorded for RCA & Columbia and that she was nervous before a performance, It was just an attempt to make a buck off her 100th birthday. Shame on the writer of this so call biography!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsLily Pons: A Centennial Portrait
By Deborah H Guenther on May 19, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Well written in a manner that gave much insight into the life of a star. I felt I knew her when I was finished reading the Biography.
Author was extremely a part of that time, in his writing.
