This begins with Lori first coming onto the scene at age 19, a fresh-faced ingénue.

But at 30, things are much more challenging.

The ageism in Hollywood is real. She no longer has her pick of the most-desired projects.

Henry Gilroy’s Foreword is illuminating.

Artwork is adequate; heavy on the black and white.

Interesting to learn more backstory, as well as the history of Lori’s character creation and evolution.

This was a fun read with some great art work.

I liked the mix between adult B movie visuals and the Lovecraftian horror.
