About this listen

The Hollywood way of life has long been a potent mix of scandal, secrecy, and sensation: exactly like the Hollywood way of death....

In this unique study, Peter Underwood charts the lives, loves, and deaths of 30 of Tinseltown’s most glittering stars. Many deaths were sad or senseless; some were tragic; others were the revenge of old age, while a few were the revenge of something altogether more sinister....

The untimely, sensational deaths of legends Marilyn Monroe and James Dean are here: so too is the tragic demise of Jean Harlow, whose Christian Scientist mother banned medical help to the end. Arthur Farnsworth - Bette Davis’ husband - is included as a mysterious (not to say suspicious) death, as is the possible murder of Superman George Reeves. Others in this compelling catalog of colorful lives and different deaths include Merle Oberon, Sammy Davis Jr, Mary Pickford, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, and Groucho Marx.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Possibly a very interesting book, but made virtually unlistenable by the narrators flat, monotonous tone and mispronounced words.

Awful narrator!

To be honest there was a lot in here that I already knew. However it was still interesting and kept me listening to the end. My biggest problem with this book was the narrator, I had to almost double the speed otherwise I would have fallen asleep listening to him. Perhaps this is one book that is better in hardback!

narration a bit monotone

Factually wrong in a number of points (Lupe’s death seems to be a rehash of the Hollywood Babylon fiction). Narration is very poor.

Interesting but not the most well researched book
