5.0 out of 5 stars Hurray for Tales of Hollywood, March 24, 2000
By Thyronne Millaud (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
I loved this cd, I listened to it over and over, beginning to end, four times straight and laughed just as much the fourth time as I did the first. These are little known anecdotes about very well known Hollywood personalities throughout the history of "Tinsletown". The author/narrator, Steve Schochet, is very gifted and his passion and love for his subjects shine through on almost every word. I would reccomend this to any one who's interested in Hollywood or in good story telling.

The tape contained some interesting historical information; however the background music was very annoying! Reliford
