In this spicy and addictive book, Paul Donnelly has chronicled the lives and deaths of more than 1,000 movie personalities. Included are not just the big stars but also a wealth of producers, directors and supporting players. Some achieved world fame or great power. Some were consigned to obscurity after one scandal too many. And quite a few hid dark secrets that would only emerge after their deaths . . .
The big names featured run from Bogart and Cagney to Sinatra and Valentino. But it is often the starlets and small-time showbiz hustlers who suffered the most tragic fates, burned out before achieving the fame and fortune they craved.
