Marianne E. (bedhead) reviewed on 4/4/2015 + 53 more book reviews

Of all of the Hollywood biopics I've read (my guilty little pleasure), this was the most fulfilling. I never cared much for Loretta Young one way or the other, but Judy Lewis is another story! She was a fine writer and the book reads almost like a novel, except that a novel might have been more satisfying because the characters might have behaved less selfishly. "Uncommon Knowledge" is a good (though sad) story, and as a reader, I was constantly rooting for little Judy, and very gratified when Judy finally was able to stop living in her mother's powerful shadow and follow her own dream. Quite an amazing woman, and twice the person either of her parents ever dreamed of being!
