Publisher's Summary:

An overview of Beyoncés life story and what we should learn from her.

In this book, well take a look at the life of one of musics most famous faces and delve into the qualities that make her the role model shes come to be. Were going to walk the path of fame that Beyoncé has been paving for herself throughout the years and see how a combination of inherent talent and determination led her to hold the crown she proudly wears today as one of musics top entertainers. A singer, an actress, a producer, a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter...

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, more commonly known as Beyoncé, is a name everyone has heard. When we read something about her, listen to her music or hear someone speak her name, we automatically think about all of the things shes come to represent: success, wealth, glamour and much more. In fact, its often easy to focus solely on this present-day prosperity that we see and read about in the news.

Its important, however, to take a look back and see just how the woman we know today as Beyoncé actually came to be the triumphant entertainer we know and admire and why she is a role model for women everywhere. The perfect balance she strikes between a successful professional life and a grounded personal one is commendable. It wasnt always easy for the music superstar, and there were obstacles here and there that Beyoncéand those in her inner circlehad to overcome. However, one thing is undeniable: Beyoncé made every moment and every experience count, and kept her values present at all times.

Beyoncé is a superwoman the likes of which are not frequently seen, and shes an example for women in all aspects of her life.

The most impressive part has been his absolute dominance in the last half decade of tennis, as he has won multiple Australian Opens, Wimbledons, and US Opens.

Title: Lombard

Author: Michael B. Druxman

Narrator: Kathleen Godwin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-17

Publisher: Michael B. Druxman

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

A one-woman play in two-acts about the life and times of Carole Lombard.

This study of Hollywood's favorite "screwball" comedienne begins on the eve of her death. Following a successful war bonds tour, she awaits word in an Indianapolis hotel room to see if she's been successful in securing plane reservations for a flight back to Los Angeles. She's anxious to get home, because she suspects that her husband, Clark Gable, is cheating on her.

Drawing liberally upon her legendary sailor's vocabulary, Ms. Lombard talks about her tragic affair with singer Russ Columbo, ex-husband William Powell, as well as George Raft, Gary Cooper, Joseph P. Kennedy and, of course, David O. Selznick and her ill-fated attempt to secure the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind.

Michael B. Druxman's Lombard is not a depressing play of approaching doom. It is a warm, funny story of a woman - the highest paid film actress of her day - who was a "fighter", both in her career and personal life.

Members Reviews:

Meeting Lombard Backstage.

For any fan of Carole Lombard, this play is irresistible. Druxman seamlessly incorporated many quotes associated with Lombard into the one-woman play, which is set in an Indianapolis hotel just before the plane trip that was to take her home to husband Clark Gable. But reading it is one thing: in your mind you see and hear Lombard herself. It would take a special woman, who may not necessarily look like Lombard, but would have her energy, sense of humor, and intelligence for the play to work. I haven't seen a presentation of it but will when the chance arises. Even if you're not a Lombard fan, you can come to know her and appreciate her. I highly recommend this, especially at a great price for downloading it to your device.

A great play on Carole Lombard

Michael B. Druxman's one woman play on the life of Carole Lombard is a moving and funny insight into this woman's life. She is remembered today mostly for her zany antics both on screen and off, her blue language and her marriage to Clark Gable. But Lombard was much more than a screen comedian and the consort of "the king" of Hollywood. She was a vibrant actress and an honest-to-god, giving and caring person to her co-workers, her friends and her family. Druxman's play captures the joy and the pathos of woman who was celebrated for being the spouse of a man she knew was cheating on her, Clark Gable, and a woman who lost the one man she truly loved, Russ Columbo. Lombard took life as she found it, and made lemonade from lemons. The say great comedians learn to laugh through their tears. Carole certainly did and Druxman's play captures the essence of the woman. A great read.

Carole's character remains timeless

Druxman wonderfully captures the spirit of Lombard -- someone whose sensibilities will always make her seem modern -- in this one-woman play.

surprise

The one woman play is a gem for an actress to play. I found the script surprisingly dense in that Lombard was portrayed not only as a star but a living breathing person with interesting and poignant relationships with her father, mother, husbands, fellow actors, and life itself. A fascinating potrait of an important life cut short by tragic circumstances.

OK

I guess I had higher expectations than was warranted.

Title: Jackie Kennedy Onassis: The Widow of Camelot

Author: Michael W. Simmons

Narrator: Alan Munro

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-12-17

Publisher: Make Profits Easy LLC

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was, for much of her life, the most famous woman in the world. First as the chic, sophisticated wife of President John F. Kennedy, she was the woman who brought Paris to its heels and turned the White House into the living museum of American history that it is today. After her husband's assassination, she served as a symbol of strength to Americans reeling from the tragic events of November 22, 1963. The black-veiled widow who presented a stoic face to the world during Kennedy's funeral procession seemed capable of doing no wrong.

But in her private life, Jackie was tormented by the Kennedy assassination to a degree that few people outside her immediate circle ever realized. After the assassination of her brother-in-law Robert F. Kennedy, she stunned the world, and her own closest relations, by marrying Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who was 23 years older than her. Suddenly vilified by the press as a fortune seeker who had turned her back on the American people, she would spend the rest of her life struggling to gain the one thing that she had been denied in her life of immense privilege: control over her own destiny.

Nothing new

This book was just a rehash of several other books on the former First Lady. One big yawn, donât waste your time.

Title: American Legends: The Life of Kim Novak

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Jim D. Johnston

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-05-17

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

From the moment the film industry became a burgeoning business that offered actresses an opportunity to seek fame and fortune, millions of girls across America have dreamed of making it big on screen, despite the long odds against them. And yet, among the few that have catapulted to superstardom, few did it as quickly, effortlessly, or as seemingly disinterestedly as Kim Novak. An art student in her early 20s, Novak found herself in Los Angeles by chance and appeared as an extra in a 1954 film to earn money, only to be almost immediately discovered by Columbia and turned into a star when she appeared in Picnic (1955).

Just about every actress would kill to have the success Novak had during her first decade as an actress, but after 1965, she'd decided that she was mostly through with making films, despite still being near the peak of her career. After starring in The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders (1965), Novak only made a dozen more films over the next 26 years, and she has not appeared in a movie since Liebestraum (1991). While her decision to get out of Hollywood presents a classic what-if over where her career may have ended up had she kept going, Novak has been one of the rare stars happier to thrive outside of the spotlight, continuing to paint and raise animals while living on an Oregon ranch with her husband of nearly 40 years.

The Legends live on!

This book was incredible. I loved her in the movies and always thought it a shame that she had quit making them. But now after reading this I understand and if she's happy than that was the way that it was suppose to be. Her health was something that I don't think anyone really knew anything about. She was and is VERY fortunate to have the type that she does and not the debilitating kind. To be able to live the life that she has, her painting and her love of animals, is amazing. There are many, myself included that would give anything to have that kind of life even with the problems she has suffered through. I very happy for her!

Review of The Life of Kim Novak

Not a great book, but okay. Not a lot of pages. Easy read. Kim Novak was my favorite movie star so I bought this book. Not a very deep or revealing look at the star. Would like to read a good autobiography or biography on Kim Novak.

Good book

It captures the elusive star in her own words. I enjoyed reading it and learned the secret of her mysterious quality. She grew up worshipping Greta Garbo, the master of mystery and like her idol she took her exit from the screen much too soon and left us wanting for more.

Why so superficial?

Love Ms. Novak. Unfortunately, this cursory biography gives short shrift to her and her career. More depth would have been much appreciated.

Charged too much.

Very disappointed thought would be larger book

Title: Roger Moore: À Bientôt...

Author: Roger Moore

Narrator: Jonathan Keeble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-14-17

Publisher: Whole Story Audiobooks

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Delivered to his publisher shortly before he passed away, in À Bientôt, Roger looks back on his life - and gives it his trademark sideways glance, too. Nostalgic, funny, charming and most importantly, very human, his reflections on age and ageing encompass all aspects of this universal experience.

The true stories he shares in this warm and intimate audiobook reveal a 'Bond Unbound,' the human being inside the action-adventure character that made him the star we will always remember him as.

Members Reviews:

A moving final word from a national treasure

Jonathan Keeble provides an accurate and dignified impression of Roger Moore in this, the late actor's farewell. It's a warm and moving audiobook containing Mr. Moore's trade mark style and funny stories and observations about advancing years. A memorable actor, UNICEF ambassador and a fabulous raconteur, he is sorely missed by an adoring public. Licensed to thrill.

The end , sadly

A brilliant final chapter to Sir Roger's life. A true saint and gentleman and a Unicef Ambassador.

Exelent

Very good book. Far to short but a great listen. Worth getting from amazing man.

The voice of a 'Saint'

Very enjoyable audiobook. A great voice to listen to and he has a lovely sense of humour.

10 Minutes of Insanity isn't your typical biography.

An in-depth look at what it takes to overcome all odds, no matter how bleak.

Title: Joi Lansing

Subtitle: A Body to Die For

Author: Alexis Alexis Hunter

Narrator: Daniela Acitelli

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-11-17

Publisher: BearManor Media

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Joi Lansing: A Body to Die For, colorfully chronicles personal and intimate details of the last four years of the talented '50's blonde bombshell star's fascinating life. After three decades of successful TV and movie appearances and Vegas singing stardom, Ms. Lansing died far too young at just 43. Though her funeral was attended by luminaries of the day, (Frank Sinatra sent a huge floral display), her light went out relatively unceremoniously.

Always on the verge of making it big, Joi packed them in with standing room only in Vegas, but when the curtain came down and the audience was gone, who was she? Sadly, the one relationship where she was loved for the sweet, gentle woman she really was, the friendship that might have given her the strength to finally cross the finish line for that one moment of glory for which she had run since she began in show business as a little girl of 14, was ended at her death from breast cancer in the arms of her dear friend, Rachel. Author Alexis Hunter, (friend/baby sister), was the only person who really knew Joi and knew how she struggled with a suicide-obsessed self-image and deadly drug problem after being a child star at MGM, where uppers were a common way to keep the kids working 20 hour days.

"Stunning black and white photos of Lansing by Maurice Seymour, the era's superstar photographer, make this audiobook a collectors dream." - Kate Porter-Avery

It's okay

It's okay.

What could have been a touching highly effective read is mostly a superficial book based on anecdotes and endless chapters about different restaurants and the foods they served.

I would love to read a more balanced/serious biography about actress Joi Lansing. For some reason the relationship between Joi and Alexis doesn't strike me as real, Alexis basically comes off as a young obsessed fan instead of a real life lover. Also I have a hard time believing that Joi's ex husband who was such a factor in her life could be that naive not to see the "closeness" between Joi and Alexis.

The age difference between the two ladies and the fact that Alexis basically turned over life and career aspirations to Joi and wasn't earning a salary also struck me as wrong somehow. Joi basically kept the young lady around as a lover/friend/assistant and the fact that Alexis makes comments about not having enough money to buy etc doesn't put Joi in the best light. I wonder if she at least left Alexis a few dollars after her death?

Now onto the narrator. Probably the worst narrator I've ever listened to. She speaks in this really annoying condescending Kim Kardashian voice and some passages I almost felt embarrassed for as she seemed to be making fun of the story and the characters. The voice she uses for Joi makes her seem extremely shallow and borderline retarded. I will never listen to anything read by her again.

All in all it's an okay story but could have been extremely touching, educating and important.

All the ingredients were there.

A Journey Back In Time

Celebrity memoirs and biographies are among my favorites to read and listen to and this one made me feel as if I was being transported back to the Golden Age of Hollywood. I felt like I was sitting in my living room having coffee with a dear friend who was sharing her story of life, love, heartbreak and hope.
