Book Review of The Show Business Nobody Knows

The Show Business Nobody Knows
Readnmachine avatar reviewed on + 1439 more book reviews


An overview of 1950s - 1970s show business trends and inside stories from columnist Earl Wilson. Now it seems pretty tame, but it was probably a shocker when it was published in 1971. Wilson tells lots of inside stories about Hollywood and Broadway biggies, and winds it up with a rant about the permissiveness in language and nudity that arrived in the 70s.
