I'm guessing on pages, since I'm skipping around. Reading the Evelyn Keyes section. Lovely, but can't say I'm terribly fond of her or a lot of the other Hollywood types in her orbit. Liked Jane Greer far more.

I'm reading their first section, then the second part, reflections once they're older. Though I did take a gander at the sections on Gail Russell and Ella Raines, in the new additions to this edition. Couldn't resist. Regretful that due to the perimeters he set out in the first edition, having them be around and willing to be interviewed especially, that so many were left out. Many still are, at least in this book. Muller is slightly getting on my nerves as he falls all over himself to tow the PC feminist line, while absolving all the women he interviews and likes of their behavior, never commenting on that, but mostly this is really good so far.
Evelyn Keyes' private life read life a bad soap opera! You made a good point re: Muller's PC feminist line. Happy reading, Bobby.
