I started this this morning and didn‘t budge until I finished it. What a read, what a force of nature. #elizabethtaylor #kateandersenbrower #oldhollywood #glamour #icon #philanthropist #activist

This was such a fun book full of juicy Hollywood gossip. It covers about 100 years from 1914 to 2012 with a scandal for each day of the year. It‘s full of sly humor which I so appreciate over corny stuff. No one should be shocked that Charlie Sheen shows up more than anyone else in this book with about 8 entries dedicated to him. 😆 Highly recommended for movie buffs and lovers of Old Hollywood. 5⭐️🍿🎥

Another good read from Hourly History! I really enjoy these short bios and there are so many of them to choose from. Naturally, my love for Old Hollywood has led me to read this 13-part series first.

Ingrid Bergman is one of THE Old Hollywood legends and it was fascinating to read about her early life, career and romantic choices. This is a great place for anyone to start that is not overly familiar with the details of her life. 4⭐️

I chose Paul Newman for my monthly Hourly History read. As always, I‘d highly recommend this series which is available on kindle unlimited. It takes me about 30 minutes to read and they have a huge variety of interesting people/time periods, etc to talk about. Paul Newman is one of my fave Old Hollywood actors and I enjoyed learning more about his earlier life. If you want to see a great movie with awesome acting and 2 of the most stunningly ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Beautiful people you‘ll ever see at the very peak of their gorgeousness, you have to watch Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) with Paul and Liz Taylor. He has tons of great movies and I also love Newman‘s Own and their wide variety of yummy food where 100% of the profits go straight to charity. I‘d highly recommend this to anyone wanting to read a good overview of Paul‘s life and career. 4⭐️ #history #biography #hourlyhistory #memoir #oldhollywood 3y

I‘m really enjoying this Hourly History series which is available on kindle unlimited. Being very familiar with James Dean‘s story, I was surprised that there were several things in this that I had never heard before. Jimmy was one of a kind and a spectacular actor imo. I would highly recommend this series! 4⭐️

Unsinkable: A Memoir | Debbie Reynolds, Dorian Hannaway

I cannot go off on an Old Hollywood memoir tear right now; I have other reading commitments. However, Debbie ripped me right out of my reading slump and quite honestly I‘m tempted to go right into old Hollywood and stay there for a month, reading different memoirs (Lucille Ball, Dick Van Dyke would be next). This book is so mesmerizing! #oldhollywood #showbiz #memoir #autobiography
