Vannie Ryanes | | Some of you know that I am getting rid of clutter and sorting out, etc. While doing so, I came across a delicious book that I had forgotten.
Complicated Women by Mick LaSalle is a fascinating book about fascinating women, Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer, Marlene Dietrich, Jean Harlow, Mae West, etc.
When LaSalle wrote this book he was teaching a class at University of California at Berkley on Pre-Code film. He is (or was, not sure) also the film critic for the San Francsico Chronicle.
Definately recommended reading.
