This gentleman is one of the nastiest writers around, he has done a horrible job on his bio of Ginger Rogers, mean spirited and such clap trap, no true fan of Ginger would want this added to their library unless of course it is a library for trash. Mr. Morley also wrote a horribly angry nasty attack book on Judy Garland a few years back, real filth. This man cannot stand true talent, especially the wonderful talents from the golden age of film. Bottom line....why bother?

It definately was not the authors intent to paint a pretty picture. By comparison to the real person whom I met in 1991 at the signing of her book "Ginger My story", one has to wonder what the motive behind the words were. I don't know if her book is still in print but it's worth checking into. Your perspective will definitely be different, you can almost hear her voice as she tells of her life. It is my most prized possession, she was a lovely lady.

Not a particularly complimentary book about a great star and not a particularly good one either. In a mere 88 pages Morley just touches the surface of Miss Rogers life (after all she lived for 84 years).This book could have gone into more depth, there wasn't really anything new that I learned from reading this and a lot of it I felt was just rumors and speculation. I was interested however to hear about Ginger's final public appearance in December 1994 in London ,althogh he only mentioned it briefly, only to discover later on that infact Ginger had made her last public appearance when she was honored by the WIC in March 1995 (just 5 weeks before her death from diabetes).One of the other maddening things about the book was the front cover - showing Ginger with Fred Astaire as if to go along with the ignorant belief that all Ginger was was his dancing partner and there was no Rogers without Astaire. This book is unreliable on just about all counts, people are much better off reading Ginger's autobiography, a much more reliable source.

Yet another book by authors who are utterly unfamiliar with their subject. With all the great books on Monroe out there, why, oh why do authors with absolutely no intimate knowledge of Marilyn keep turning out this drivel? I recommend that you don't waste your time or money on THIS one! The pictures are rehashed oldies that we've all seen a million times before, and so are the stories. Poor Marilyn, will they ever let you rest in peace and stop inventing new insanities about you?

This book is based on profile evidence and is outdated. Even so-called "experts" on MSBP admit that the profile should not be used to determine the guilt or innocense of a care-giver. Now MSBP has come to mean causing medical harm in order to garner attention.

Further the creator (Roy Meadows) of MSBP has been discredited and court rooms are now recognizing it as not a diagnosis. Attention-seeking is simply a motive. Doctors must show a crime has been commited based on fact. The American Medical Assoc and the American Psychiatric Association does not recognize this "disorder" as a diagnosis.

Book was very poor quality. Looked like it had been produced on a copy machine using very poor stock. Content was equally poor. It looked more like soft pornography than the exercise book I was expecting. ...
