Description

The Hollywood way of life has long been a potent mix of scandal, secrecy, and sensation: exactly like the Hollywood way of death....

In this unique study, Peter Underwood charts the lives, loves, and deaths of 30 of Tinseltown’s most glittering stars. Many deaths were sad or senseless; some were tragic; others were the revenge of old age, while a few were the revenge of something altogether more sinister....

The untimely, sensational deaths of legends Marilyn Monroe and James Dean are here: so too is the tragic demise of Jean Harlow, whose Christian Scientist mother banned medical help to the end. Arthur Farnsworth - Bette Davis’ husband - is included as a mysterious (not to say suspicious) death, as is the possible murder of Superman George Reeves. Others in this compelling catalog of colorful lives and different deaths include Merle Oberon, Sammy Davis Jr, Mary Pickford, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, and Groucho Marx.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Dragged in a Few Spots...

There was a lot more "Old" Hollywood in this than I expected, which I very much enjoyed. But I found many of the stories felt disconnected and could carry on longer than necessary.

This is one of the more gruesome 'death-in-hollywood' books I've listened to and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

For fans of early Hollywood stars and even early Hollywood history, true crimes, or medical mysterious, I'd say this book is worth your time.
