Title: Definately NOT the 'Essential' biography
Product review: Having only recently become a Crawford fan thanks to finally getting to see "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane" (thanks Amazon!) and recently reading "Bette and Joan,The Divine Feud"... I was really looking forward to discovering much more the about the real person behind the legend and myth. Unfortunately this biography doesnt give you any of that. If you are looking for an in depth analysis of Ms Crawfords films and acting style then this is for you. Whilst I do tend to agree with the authors that 'Mommie Dearest' is very much a one sided hack job, this book does not go very far to counteract some of the stories presented by adopted daughter Christina in her biography, and present a balanced portrait of Ms Crawford flaws and all. Very dissapointing.
