Carroll & Graf Pub, 1991

Farouk lost much time in idle searching
A few months before 23 July 1952 coup d'etat, king Farouk examined the possibility to form a military cabinet composed of the `loyal' elements in the Army and the `clean' Civilians. The Cabinet was to be headed by Mustapha el Maraghi. The King initially was thinking to bring General Fouad Sadik to head the cabinet, but Sadik-who fought in Palestine, 1948- could not give him the necessary ...

One of the best books I have read of Marilyn
All I could say is that I have read a few books about Marilyn,but if you are a fan this is a MUST to buy, Lena Pepitone makes you go back in time to the years she was with Marilyn living in New York and through her last years although she talks alot of when Marilyn was a starlet and her early days in Hollywood,Marilyn was a very lonely person it is a very sad book, when I got to the last page I ...

Everybody eats there
"Everybody eats there" is the best dinner party gift I have ever come across. Well written, witty and meticulously researched, it tells everything you ever wanted to know, from the menu to the clientele and history, about the most exclusive restaurants in the world, the ones you always dreamt of going to. I have personally been lucky enough to have gone to many of the 100 restaurants described in ...

Lullaby and Good Night

Vincent Bugliosi, William Stadiem

Dutton Adult, 1987

Bringing Down Tammany
Vincent Bugliosi may seem out of his normal element in writing fiction with successful ventures in true crime such as "Helter Skelter" and "And the Sea Will Tell". Yet with the historical backdrop of "Lullaby and Good Night", Bugliosi paints an unlikley story that seems all too real. Even though the book may be somewhat predictable, the book was tough to put down with its fast-paced, masterful ...

Mr. S : My Life with Frank Sinatra

Come fly with him
Reading George Jacobs' memoir of his years as Frank Sinatra's right-hand man, I am struck by the star's sense of failure, despite having almost everything. He never got over second wife Ava Gardner. He sought but failed to get a Best Acting Oscar. His career declined while third wife Mia Farrow, barely out of her teens, hit it big with "Rosemary's Baby." Sinatra was rejected by the Kennedys, as ...

A FASCINATING LOOK AT ANOTHER ERA
I wasn't sure I wanted to read this book. Was it just another "tell all" book by someone capitalizing on a scandal? But I was curious about this "secret" Black daughter of the notorious Southern Senator, so I opened the book. I'm glad I did because reading it took me back to another time, another era, another mind-set where a man could love a Black woman he had to keep hidden and care about the ...

Harper Paperbacks, 2004

Chronicles What an Unrepetant Jackass Sinatra Really Was.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a Sinatra Fan. Of his music. I never did buy into the crock of b.s. that painted him as some sort of cultural hero. And I always figured it would just be a matter of time before someone who worked this close to Sinatra would spill the beans. And it's all here. His double standards shine like the Hope Diamond. Do as I say and not as I do seems to be the recurring ...

Pocket, 1983

Beautiful star's desire to be average
This book, written by Marilyn Monroe's seamstress/maid, who spent almost every waking hour with the star during the last six years of her life, is a true find. To find out that Marilyn was a "bastard" child whose mother abandoned her was astonishing. It makes you wonder what the world of entertainment would be like had that mother aborted the child instead of given birth to Marilyn! "I was a ...
