Spellbound by Beauty: Alfred Hitchcock and His Leading Ladies

8 reviews
Donald Spoto

Harmony, 2008

Terrific!
I have always enjoyed Spoto's books about the film industry, and this one is superb. Having already mastered Hitchcock and his work in other books, this one takes the Master a step further. In short, Hitchcock was a "weirdo" who harrassed his leading ladies all through the making of his classic films. He told them dirty stories, propositioned them, and harrassed them in eras where that was ...

Lawana Blackwell

Bethany House Publishers, 2004

A story of intrigue, romance and forgiveness in London.
I really enjoyed this new story by Lawana Blackwell. Set in the theatre world of London in the late 1890s, she creates a plot and subplots of lively characters onstage and backstage. Bethia Rayborn is the new wardrobe mistress of London's Royal Court Theatre. She accepts a seemingly innocent invitation for a tea outing with her cousin Jewel's cousin Douglas Pearce after the departure of her ...

Tallulah!: The Life and Times of a Leading Lady

Joel Lobenthal

Harper Paperbacks, 2008

A Book For The Ages
Joel Lobenthal's book is a remarkable feat. He has rescued Tallulah Bankhead from her fans. I can't understand the horrid reviews this book has gotten from others on the site. I found his work utterly compelling and a vast improvement on every other book I've seen (all of which I've enjoyed by the way). It's just that Lobenthal has done something no other biographer has attempted-he has ...

Laughing with Lucy: My Life with America's Leading Lady of Comedy

Madelyn Pugh Davis

Clerisy Press, 2007

With Lucy's other writers had done books, too.
Having read tons of other books on everything tied to Lucy, I was especially happy to come across this memoir of what I consider to be one of television's best writers. Ms. Davis writes succinctly but thoroughly and entertainingly about many of her memories associated with what many people consider to be television's all-time best sit-com. It is a great, fun read for anyone interested in "I ...

Leading Ladies: The 50 Most Unforgettable Actresses of the Studio Era

22 reviews

Chronicle Books, 2006

Great Intro to Leading Ladies
This is a great book that reviews really the top 50 stars of Hollywood's Golden Age. Brief bios left you wanting more. Great photos. The only disagreement I have is that I would have omitted Mae West from the top 50 and added Betty Grable instead as I think she was the bigger star.

GOD'S LEADING LADY
I really enjoyed the book God's Leading Lady. The reason I really enjoyed the book is because it is a self help book. It also showed women how to take center stage in their life. Iwould reccomend this book to all females. If they read God's Leading Lady it will help them to become one of God' Leading Lady.

Marlee Matlin, Doug Cooney

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2007

Lively and positive story.
Marlee Martin and Doug Cooney's LEADING LADIES continues the story of spunky deaf child Megan in a sequel following her fourth grade adventures, directed to ages 8-12. Here her class is putting on their own original musical based on Wizard of oz - and Megan wants to be the star, and sign Dorothy's part. When a friend from camp transfers into her class from her all-deaf school and covets the same ...

Leading Ladies: American Trailblazers

Kay Bailey Hutchison

Harper Paperbacks, 2008

From a liberal Democrat
We have been and are on different sides with many issues. But my state's Senator and I do share an interest in promoting women's accomplishments. Too often women's achievements have been and continue to be marginalized in the history books. This ultimately allows women's place in society to be erased. For if women's past was not accurately recorded, how will we then understand what needs to ...

Suzan D. Johnson Cook

Thomas Nelson, 2003

There doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day, and yet the list of things to do never stops expanding. Balancing Your Life meets the challenge of not only finding balance, but also keeping it. Rev. Cook's unique approach to sharing her faith and knowledge draws thousands of women to the God's Leading Ladies conferences. She ...

The Leading Lady: Dinah's Story

Betty White, Tom Sullivan

Bantam, 1992

Dinah's Story
A wonderful tale of a wonderful dog. However, the alternating chapters between White and Sullivan are annoyingly disruptive. A different format would have focused more on the dog that readers grow to love.

Linda Spalla

Over the Transom Publishing Co., 2003

Leading Ladies - Must Read for ALL Women!
I recommend this book for every Woman regardless of career level (entry, mid, senior). Linda, a friend of mine, tells her story in a clear, concise way as a means of demonstrating Leadership points for Women. She definitely knows her subject matter and has fought her share of battles from working in a male dominated business. The relevance for young women today is still vital, current, and ...

Leading Ladies (A Play)

Ken Ludwig

S. French, 1999

Some Like It Hot meets Tootsie
Ken Ludwig is perhaps best known as the author of the wildly popular LEND ME A TENOR--and as the author of the singularly uninspired MOON OVER BUFFALO. Originally produced in 2004, LEADING LADIES falls somewhere between the two, neither as deliciously comic as the first nor as dire as the latter. In terms of plot, you might describe LEADING LADIES as "Some Like It Hot Meets Tootsie." Leo and ...

Leading Lady

2 reviews

Tolmitch Press, 2008

It's like watching a Nascar event. Fast, dangerous, sexy.
So here comes Heywood Gould again with another exciting tale. Gould, author of "Fort Apache, The Bronx," "Boys From Brazil" and other novels and screenplays, now gives us a super-charged story full of bad guys, a lot badder guys (among them rogue Feds, Russian and Albanian mobsters and locally-grown mafiosi) and a not-that-bad bad guy you can come to love and root for. Jerry Lang, by name. ...

At the Center of the Frame: Leading Ladies of the Twenties and Thirties

4 reviews
William M. Drew

Vestal Press, 1999

Discovering Their Voices
This book, as well as Drew's "Speaking of Silents", is a must-read for anyone interested in silent film history and the transition to sound. Not only does it document changes within the film industry, but it also documents these actresses' stories--in their own voices. I can't recommend it highly enough!
