Title: Good, but far from definitive
Product review: Lambert thinks he has written the most definitive and the first biography on Nazimova. He is wrong on both counts. His book makes no substantial revelations about the life of the great actress, but does introduce her to the people today who think Gwyneth Paltrow is more than just an average actress.The book is, for now, the best on Nazimova. The first book on her, by Olga Lewton, came out in the 1980's and is just a personal account with many errors. Lambert makes his most glaring error by not mentioning the Lewton book, though he cites interviews with Lewton. If Lambert dd not know about that book when he wrote this, he is a sloppy researcher. If he did know and failed to list it in the bibliography, he is misleading his readers.
