"The other reviews I read of this book were right on the money--the author spends too much time detailing every movie in Crawford's career--and not enough time on her personal life. He also draws a lot on previous work on the actress rather than offering original and new information. I did learn some interesting and fun facts and tidbits, though, and I liked that--I basically did a lot of skimming to get to the good stuff."
"Enjoyable if gossipy take on Crawford. Bret is one of those authors who is determined to prove that just about everyone in Hollywood is gay, even if he has no sources either way. Marred by sloppy factoids here and there, like Norma Shearer never remarrying, which again throws into doubt the veracity of Bret's entire approach."
