I love stories about Hollywood. I feel a little guilty about that sometimes, especially when at the checkout counter when reading the headlines of the super market rags; at least I don't buy them--often.
Anyway, there are some good stories. Some I have read before, and there were more than one of which I know had been proven to be false.
The book is a compilation, and entertaining. It's a good bathroom read.

Since I enjoy reading about Hollywood, this particular book piqued my interest. I had no idea tinsel town had quirks I never knew about. Portable Press has published many well researched books that left the reader more than satisfied with its information. I hope to read more from them
