Murder in Hollywood: Solving a Silent Screen Mystery de Charles Higham

Murder in Hollywood by Charles Higham is one of the best books written about the murder of William Desmond Taylor. It puts forth the most likely explanation of who and how the murder occurred. I found it also gave a fascinating glimpse into Hollywood of silent film era.

Howard Hughes: The Secret Life de Charles Higham

he reminds me of Donald trump. "It's all about me." I didn't know he was bisexual, that he might have died of aids.
he never seemed to pay income tax.

Sisters: The Story of Olivia De Havilland and Joan… de Charles Higham

Neither sister comes off particularly well in this bio, but the writing is the real loser. Aside from being in need of a good editor and less gossipy feel, it's sprinkled with WTF moments like: "Walter de Havilland...often let his incestuous feelings for Joan be known. Still a virgin and very insecure about sexual matters, Joan was certainly not ready for incest." What?!? When would she be ready???

Aside from the distractingly bad writing, interesting to get to know one of my favorites (yes, Olivia, like the author) a little better.… (més)
