Title: Brief Lives. . . with Attitude
Product review: Centuries back, the Brit John Aubrey created the format of encapsulating the histories of celebrated personages of his day into short form. More "Lives in Brief" than the "Brief Lives" title he chose.James Robert Parish makes excellence use of the format, even as his subjects - mainly movie stars - are far better known and infinitely more outrageous (which, incidentally, makes for far more enjoyable reading). Most everything you want or need to know about more than a hundred stars of every cinematic era. This book is a real treasure of both research and entertainment.Bravo, Mr. Parish!
