Title: Blatant hatchet job
Review: A thoroughly loathsome book full of unverifiable 'facts'. Badly written, quotes from the subject himself are simply tossed around w/out being sourced. There's no bibliography or notes, so you don't know where the author has gotten much of his info. Several of Perkins' friends who were interviewed for the book have publicly expressed regret for having consented to be interviewed. This book was also the basis for an equally revolting episode of A&E Biography about Tony. If you want to know about Perkins' life, watch E!'s 'True Hollywood Story' about him. Although this book was used as source material for the E! THS, they don't approach his life w/the same cynicism or hostility that Mr. Winecoff did. ...
