[MKF · Rating 1 out of 5]

It's not much of a biography since there's very little details about her personal life and a lot about her films. If you don't have the internet and want to know all about her films and the details for those films then this book is for you. After a few chapters I became bored learning about her movies and skimmed the rest.

Chronological description of her film career, giving summaries of the film plots. Very little personal information.

It reads like a textbook, which is fine and I expected it would be that way, but the author didn’t even seem to like Judy. He basically said every movie she was in was bad and weirdly pointed out every time in her life that she gained a bit of weight. JUDY THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU 🩷
