"The biography is most valuable because of keyed references to items in the bibliography and filmography that enable readers to identify commentary on specific aspects of Lloyd's work from sources as diverse as television news shows, gossip magazines, and scholarly film journals. Recommended for specialized collections in film, theater, and American studies." -- Choice
