Reviews

[Saskia · Rating 2 out of 5]

On page 195 it states that Milton Sills committed suicide by driving his "car into a treacherous curve along sunset boulevard"... Very bizarre, seeing as he supposedly died suddenly of a heart attack at his home in the company of his family. I even found a newspaper article announcing his death from 1930 that goes against this the bizarre claim. I found the rest of the book entertaining, but I will disregard all of the amusing anecdotes herein as complete fiction.

Two stars for some wonderful photos.
