1.0 out of 5 stars a press clippings hatchet job, 20 Jun 2001
By Mr. Huw D. Jenkins (South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have to say I was more than disappointed by this book about one of the most fascinating film personalities of the day. I mean this was the woman who hooked a lumber millionaire at sixteen, a comic genius (Charlie Chaplin)in her early twenties, Burgess Meredith and author Erich Maria Remarque. She danced in the Follies, missed out on becoming Scarlett O'Hara by a whisker, spent a few fortunes as she hopped from one continent to another in search of lasting fulfillment and ended her days as a lonely bedridden recluse in Switzerland. This book is lame, it limps from page to page turning one of the most bewitching of screen presences (by her own account she wasn't a great actress) into a rather uninteresting flibbertigibbet. The book has been hashed together from press clippings of the day with little attempt to make sense of her life or critically assess her career. Many of her most famous films are either skimmed over or not mentioned at all, one of her best screen roles in George Cukor's "The Women" barely rates a mention. The woman who tantalised people like Andy Warhol, Diego Rivera, Picasso etc. just isn't made flesh in this completely banal piece of writing. Miss Goddard's Jewishness is not mentioned at all, her acrimonious split with her studio (Paramount)isn't referred to, unforgivably there are no photographs and the entire work is lazy, shoddy and does not do justice to the woman whose jewelry collection was one of the most famous in the world.
