Title: Finally
Review: Finally, a long overdue full length biography has been written about this fascinating personality. Author Scott O'Brien has fashioned a detailed biography that deftly balances her film, stage and television work along with her charity work and private life. Comprehensive and well researched, the author relies heavily on contemporary interviews, reviews, and articles, along with Kay's own diary and memories of her close friends, to give a glowing, though not uncritical view of Kay's life and career. Peppered throughout with juicy tidbits about her love life without being lurid or sensationalistic, it also covers her contract struggle with Warner Bros., her tireless and often overlooked charity work during WW2, and features many rare photos, including several of Kay in her later years. This book is a must have for any Kay Francis fan, and for anyone who enjoys reading about early Hollywood.
