About this title: Madsen delivers the first portrait of film legend Barbara Stanwyck--the extraordinary story of a life that began on the streets of Brooklyn and rose to Hollywood in the Golden Age. Behind the glamorous facade of this notoriously private star are tales of two tragic marriages, backstage dramas during filming, and more. 16-page photo insert.

"I was pretty bored with this one, which can't possibly be because Barbara Stanwyck herself was boring. Dull and thorough (and "objective" -- nothing worse than "objective") biographers are a dime a dozen.
I was fascinated to learn, though, that Barbara's sexual orientation was successfully kept under wraps for so many years because her lover was also her publicist!"
