Product Description

Product Description

Prion's internationally bestselling Sex Lives series presents lighthearted accounts of the sexual escapades of major figures in history, politics, religion, the arts, and film. Irreverent and gossipy, the books are packed with carnal tidbits and eye-opening revelations. Sex has long been the common currency of the Hollywood Dream Factory. Early movie moguls packed their epics with ravishing dancing girls and frequently used the casting couch to determine who should be rocketed to stardom. Louise Brooks and Clara Bow were both brought down by sex scandals--the latter, in a rumored liaison with the USC football team. Mary Astor's career was ruined when explicit extracts from her diaries were read in open court, and silent star Alla Nazimova began the trend for Hollywood lesbians--Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, and Claudette Colbert were all members of the "Sewing Circle."


From the Author

The newest books in my Sex Lives series have a list of all the
personalities that appear the books, so you can play "International Daisy
Chain". This is a game invented, not by me, but by Truman Capote. Pick any
two people from the list and see how many lovers you need to daisy chain
between them. The player who joins them with the least lovers wins. Play it
at home or in bed - or why not try a game of "Strip Daisy Chain"?

5.0 out of 5 stars Sex Lives of the Hollywood Goddesses, 27 Nov 2003
By Chris Owen (London, England) - See all my reviews
A truly enjoyable read. Nigel Cawthorne writes with style and panache. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the juicy tidbits and Nigel's always amusing comments. I am a huge fan of Mr Cawthorne's and look forward to reading his next published book, which I hope I won't have to wait too long for. I am addicted to his books!

4.0 out of 5 stars Exhausting!, 31 Dec 2006
By Mrs. Ruth K. Hastings "roohastings" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sex Lives of the Hollywood Goddesses: Pt. 2 (Paperback)
I read this book for some light relief at the end of the academic year and regarding this I was not disappointed. If anyone out there is frustrated at their humdrum life, I strongly suggest you read this book - the bed/partner/husband hopping is enough to wear you out, as is trying to keep track of who is with whom!!
However, that aside, the thing that really spoiled my experience of this book was the dreadful editing. Sentences which didn't seem to make any sense, capital letters appearing in the middle of words etc. It became so bad that half way through the book I began circling the mistakes with a pencil because I couldn't believe there were so many.
The cover of the book I have is different to the one shown here although the title/author is the same, so it may be that I have a rushed copy, but I have to say that the poor editing made the book a bit of a trial to read.
