Kennedy, Matthew

An entertaining, informative read that comprehensively examines the work of one of the most memorable film stars who had undeniable talent and appeal.

As in his previous works on Joan Blondell and Marie Dressler, the author excels in research, and some of the numerous stories, quotes, and anecdotes he excavates from production records and archives are priceless. What he dishes on "Tyrannosaurus Rex" Harrison alone is worth the price of admission. For all film collections.
