Lourdes V. reviewed Scarlett O'Hara's Younger Sister: My Lively Life in and Out of Hollywood on + 9 more book reviews
This book is an informing, enjoyable, bawdy, birds eye view of the life of one Evelyn Keyes. I can't stand reading autobiographies where the subject come off as a saint. I mean they have done no wrong but able to point out everyone else's secrets and faults. This doesn't happen in this book. Evelyn shines the truth on her experiences the good, the bad, the ugly. Her whirlwind romances, her marriages, her time in Hollywood. I especially found her telling of her time with Mike Todd very illuminating since all I know about Todd is other recollections who did not know Todd on such an intimate basis like Keyes. This book is funny it made me laugh out loud several times Evelyn had such a gift with observations sometimes she was the punch of the funny which made me take her to my heart. If you like me thought you would get some insight into the filming of, cast stories of, and insider info about Gone With the Wind. Well, it is not in this book. You as a reader NEVER miss it. This book is about Evelyn's life and as GWTW is a footnote in her life the book sails us through the times of her life as she lived it. A most excellent read.
