This is a book of scandals. From Olive Thomas and Fatty Arbuckle to Bruce Lee and Judy Garland. a book about the men and women who found fame in Hollywood but often discovered too, shame, terror, and fears of failure more dreadful than the worst reality. Sex is in this book. Crime fills many of the pages. All of the subject matter is sensational. From the sexually bizarre orgies and trial of Fatty Arbuckle to the macabre Manson murder of Sharon Tate. This brutally candid book reveals much of the truth about Hollywood. Illustrated with dozens of photos. A book you will want to look at many times.
