Title: Judy

Subtitle: A Legendary Film Career

Narrator: Gary Dikeos

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

Through her incomparable work on screen, stage, record, radio, and television, Judy Garland earned renown as The Worlds Greatest Entertainer. It was as a motion picture star though, that she first rose to international fame. From her feature film debut in 1936 through the aptly titled I Could Go on Singing in 1963, she lit up the screen with a magic uniquely hersand dazzled world-wide audiences of all ages.

Judy Garland starred in two dozen of the all-time classic movie musicals, among them A Star is Born, Meet Me in St. Louis, Babes in Arms, Easter Parade, For Me and My Gal, and The Harvey Girls. Her dramatic turns in Judgment at Nuremberg, The Clock, and A Child is Waiting won added acclaim. And perhaps most unforgettably, she starred as Dorothy Gale in the best-loved motion picture of all time: The Wizard of Oz.

Judy: A Legendary Film Career tells the story of Garlands movie work in unprecedented detail. Hundreds of never-before-published photos, newly-assembled contemporary reviews, insight from her costars and coworkers, and production histories are provided for each film in which she appeared. Highlighting and complimenting the feature films is a definitive biography; an examination of Judys short subjects; details of the movies she did not complete; and an enthralling compendium of film projects for which she was considered or rumored. The text is illustrated by more than five hundred photos, encompassing poster art; costume tests; behind-the-scenes candids; onstage and backstage glimpses of her theatrical successes; and personal snapshots.

Judy is the exhaustively researched work of historian John Fricke. He celebrates as never before the heart, humor, and incandescent motion picture achievement of the one-and-only Judy Garland.

Members Reviews:

Great history, names, words mispronounced!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I always enjoy hearing backstage stories and this book was specifically geared to this.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Judy. You get the measure of a woman who was a signing and dancing marionette, who had little control over her professional and personal life. Yet all of the show business personalities used and abused her talents without apparently acknowledging this. Somehow, she maintained a resiliency that allowed her to be involved in the incredible body of work described in the book.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I enjoyed the shift that the narrator presented as he spoke as the different personalities. The Judy Garlard voice was interesting, but not really necessary. What I intensely disliked was the seeming lack of preparation that resulted in the mispronunciation of names ("Dick Bogard"?, "EV-ah-lyn Waugh" as opposed to "EVE-ah-lyn...) and terms ("biopic" was pronounced "by-OPP-ic", rather than "BY-oh-pic"). Every time such terms were read, I openly cringed...

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Maybe...who's performing?

Any additional comments?

While the narrator has a mellifluous reading voice, I think significant care should also have gone into learning how to correctly pronounce names and related industry terms.

Good book for teens

Comic biographies are tricky business, plagued with art complexity. When we read fictional stories, we create iconography based upon how the characters are described or drawn. Not so in a biography of a famous person because the reader is already familiar with what the person looks like. The Fame series is a great way for people to see their favorite celebrities in a different world...the comic book world!

Realistic art requires every single image of the person be spot-on accurate and recognizable. There is no room for wonky faces or goofy facial elements and no tolerance for strange positions or awkward faces or hands. They must look like themselves in each panel. Realism must be realistic. The other choice is iconic or cartoony art, whereas the image is not a replication of the person but merely an iconic representation. This approach allows for more artistic license.

Bluewater Productions has produced several nonfiction comics, all of which have used realism with differening success.

As Scott McCloud puts it in UNDERSTANDING COMICS (pg. 30) "by stripping down an image to its essential `meaning,' an artist can amplify that meaning in a way that realistic art can't."

I loved it! Pick up the Fame series...a true fun ride. The art in the Bieber book is just amazing as well as the storytelling!

I do not think I hate Bieber anymore after reading this.

great book for my kids!

This is a great biography book! I learned a lot that I did not know, and it was fun to read. Who would of ever thought that a comic book can be in a biography format. I think these are great collectibles as well as a fun read. I really enjoyed the artwork as well - very classic and cool!

Title: Marilyn

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Gloria Steinem

Narrator: Dina Pearlman

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

In this sensitive, provocative portrait of Marilyn Monroe, Gloria Steinem reveals the woman behind the myth - the child Norma Jean - and the forces in America that shaped her into the fantasy and icon that has never died.

Members Reviews:

It has been told before, but this is a

If you could sum up Marilyn in three words, what would they be?

Smarter than perceived.

What other book might you compare Marilyn to and why?

I think she was a lot more astute than people give her credit. She used her 'skill' to get what she wanted. I am jealous. As a 'plain' woman, I could never achieve what she did.

Any additional comments?

I really dislike that we treat beauty as if it were a talent that was worked for and achieved with pride.

Marilyn by Gloria! Great Perspective!

I am not a Marilyn buff by any means. So when I saw a book about her written by Gloria Steinem I was interested and it proved to be a great listen. I couldn't put it down. I learned a ton about Marilyn that I never considered. It was really about Norma Jeane! It was also interesting to hear the upbringing and background on her. It made me feel sad that she departed this world without a better understanding of herself. Her photo is everywhere. I even own some Marilyn memorabilia and although she is forever infamous. This book reminded me of the girl, the woman before fame who probably only wanted love and family. Really heartbreaking. Again, if you are a MM history buff you probably know all of this info. But for novice MM admirers such as myself. This book brought on perspective and reminds us that all these celebrities are just people. Sometimes more damaged than they appear. Great book! Great writing! Great POV from Gloria !

Title: Scandal

Subtitle: A Manual

Author: George Rush, Joanna Molloy

Narrator: George Rush, Joanna Molloy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

Over fifteen years of dirty secrets, shocking reveals, and all of the celebrity gossip thats unfit to print . . . but were going to anyway. When Jay Z defended himself against unfair charges that he slapped a woman, when Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez got tagged by an escort agency madam, when Bill OReilly dissed Muslim women, and when Ruth Madoff discovered her scam artist husband, Bernie, had also been cheating on her, it all came out in the pages of Rush & Molloy, the internationally syndicated entertainment column devoured by millions.

George Rush and Joanna Molloy are as dedicated to finding the juiciest scoops as they are to their long screwball romance. Together theyve made some impressive enemies, turned down some bribes, become unlikely relationship counselors to famous star-crossed lovers, and witnessed the evolution of celebrity coverage from the twilight of Winchell to the dawn of Twitter.

Part love story, part tabloid, Scandal is a rollicking memoir of fame, gossip, and two true icons of print and web journalism. Rush and Molloy have exposed, unraveled, and reported some of Hollywoods biggest rumors, blind items, and unbelievable stories. Still, over the years, the couple has kept a few salacious tales to themselves - that is, until now!

Editorial Reviews:

Guilty pleasures don't get much better than the work of gossip columnists Rush and Molloy. Hear them relate, in their own words and their own voices, a memoir of sorts, with plenty of juicy gossip dispersed throughout. With the requisite wit and dry sarcasm fans have come to expect the two drop secrets on the rich and famous, predicting that if they're ever found murdered a good place to start looking for blood is the heels of Sarah Jessica Parker. As you'll find out in this rollicking audiobook the list of suspects would go a long way from there.

Members Reviews:

Deliciously entertaining

Essential listening for consumers of celebrity culture. Filled with dish, dirt and perspective from the most notorious gossips of our time.

Couldn't finish it

I have been looking forward to this book. My understanding would be that it would be full of juicy stories and tidbits from the foxhole so to speak. Instead, it was the long version on the history of both authors, who I have never heard of and don't really care to know about anyway. I would not recommend this book. The best part was the Prologue. When I finally quit even trying to listen to this book, I was reminded of the words of Simon Cowell during one of the first seasons of American Idol. He said, "I like the end. The part where it ended."

Title: Clara Bow

Subtitle: A One-Woman Play in Two Acts

Author: Michael B. Druxman

Narrator: Nancy McLemore

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-30-13

Publisher: Michael B. Druxman

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

Clara Blow is a one-woman play in two acts about the life and times of Clara Bow. The "It" Girl was the movies' first American sex goddess. The star of Wings, the first film to win the Best Picture Oscar, Clara Bow's unhappy life, in many ways, paralleled that of her successor, Marilyn Monroe. A longtime victim of insomnia, Ms. Bow lies awake on the morning of her estranged husband's funeral and painfully remembers the mentally ill mother who once tried to kill her; her career as the ultimate "flapper" her many nervous breakdowns; and affairs with the likes of Gary Cooper, Gilbert Roland, director Victor Fleming, and, as is said, the USC football team.

Michael B. Druxman's Clara Bow is a tragi-comic tale about another of Hollywood's victims.

Members Reviews:

Gumption and Ghosts

Michael B. Druxman's Clara Bow is a wonderful example of a woman with gumption. The kind of

spirit that overcomes difficulties that would under-cut the feint-hearted. But

not Clara Bow.A Queen of the silent pictures. Known as having "It." She had "It" all right but

the "It" of what George Bernard Shaw called the life force. Such an amazing story-

a must-read for anyone interested in the entertainment industry and the American spirit.

God bless her and Mr. Druxman!

Wonderfully acted out.

Maybe not the very best play I've ever come across, but Nancy McLemore is a such a gifted voice actress, it makes it all worth while. Most enjoyable.

Was a made up play

Was terribly disappointed with this book... it was actually a stage play sciipt with an imagining of things Clara Bow might have said about her life. I did read the whole thing and got a feel for who she was, but I had been hoping for a real biography

terrible

This is quite possibly the worst play ever written. It diminishes one of the greatest actresses of all time. Terrible.

Title: Glenn Ford

Subtitle: A Life

Author: Peter Ford

Narrator: Robert Blumenfeld

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

Glenn Ford - star of such now-classic films as Gilda, Blackboard Jungle, The Big Heat, 3:10 to Yuma, and The Rounders - had rugged good looks, a long and successful career, and a glamorous Hollywood life. Yet the man who could be accessible and charming on screen retreated to a deeply private world he created behind closed doors.

Glenn Ford: A Life chronicles the volatile life, relationships, and career of the renowned actor, beginning with his move from Canada to California and his initial discovery of theater. It follows Fords career in diverse media - from film to television to radio - and shows how Ford shifted effortlessly between genres, playing major roles in dramas, noir, westerns, and romances. This biography by Glenn Fords son, Peter Ford, offers an intimate view of a stars private and public life. Included are exclusive interviews with family, friends, and professional associates, and snippets from the Ford family collection of diaries, letters, audiotapes, and unpublished interviews. This biography tells a cautionary tale of Glenn Fords relentless infidelities and long, slow fade-out, but it also embraces his talent-driven career. The result is an authentic Hollywood story that isnt afraid to reveal the truth.

Members Reviews:

Not As Great As Other Reviews Said

I'm afraid it's boring, containing a litany of his many many movies, complete with mind-numbing listings of cast, director, producer, screenwriter, screenwriter who redid the script, cameraman, and studio head, etc. Every time a film was mentioned I said, "Not this again." I found him, like many stars, uninteresting in real life. A serial philanderer may have been fascinating in the 50s or 60s but not today.

I knew I would not like him very much, early in the book, when he pretended he was a combat veteran and war hero by repeatedly showing his son films of himself in pretend combat, saying "Look son, there's Daddy!" and fooling him into believing he'd been at war. He served at Camp Pendleton near San Diego and did not see active duty. His son said, among other negative things about him, that he was terribly spoiled and made up stories about his life that others never checked the veracity of. Owning homes in Tahiti and France. Meeting Churchill. Being a racehorse breeder. It sounds as if, beneath all the glory piled onto him because of his career, he was a very insecure person.

There is really very little of Glenn Ford in this book and what is there paints a portrait of someone who is very hard to admire in any way, a man who also was not much of a father. After reading his history with women, including his wife Eleanor Powell who seemed very nice but allowed him to physically and emotionally abuse her, it was hard to have sympathy as he picked young women who used him. That Eleanor Powell struggled financially, "barely hanging on" in a rental in South Beverly Hills, when he could have helped her more than he did, says it all.

For great celebrity biographies, try those by Kirk Douglas, Debbie Reynolds, or Carol Burnett.

Revealing and a little painful

Peter Ford has written a marvelous biography about a difficult and hard-headed father. This must have been a difficult but cathartic book to write. Glenn Ford's life was all about his never ending quest for romance which accounted for his alcohol and substance abuse.

Members Reviews:

Great read and inspiring

As an aspiring fashion stylist just starting out, I loved brads book. His book gave me so much inspiration and knowledge all in one book. He told his stories as only brad could and I feel like I know him more after reading his book. It was more than a fashion book, he gave personal stories and these stories were a step by step of how he got to where is his, his thought process and what he went through to get there, it wasn't just wear this shirt with these shorts in the summer, it was his struggles with himself and never feeling good enough, and not knowing which way to go (I feel him 100%) and fashion is full of these types of people, fashion understands them and embraces them. He also gives tips and helpful info like certain books to read and movies to watch for reference. This was one of the best fashion books as far as inspiring me to keep moving forward and pursuing my dream I have read thus far. I wish it was longer, I want to hear more about the glamourous times working with Rachel Zoe.

Inspirational

âYou have to do what you love. Believe in yourself. Believe that things are possible and they will happen.â

An instant fan of Brad Goreski, I purchased this book immediately when it was released in 2012. Iâve had so much reading to catch up on, that I only got to âBorn to be Bradâ just now, two years later. My only regret after reading this book is that I didnât read it sooner.

Brad has always been open about the struggles in his life, but reading about his journey in great detail was so rewarding and refreshing. I can honestly say after reading this book that I will be a fan of Brad for life, and will continue to support HIS journey as I continue on mine.

âBorn to be Bradâ is another book that I will carry with meâliterally, keeping it in my purse close at hand in case I ever need to reference his encouraging words; and figuratively, forever in my heart. His story inspires me. Who doesnât like to root for the underdogâespecially when the person perseveres, pushes through the rough times, and reaches success? Moreover, who canât relate to the underdog? We all have a little of thatâthat doubt and struggleâin ourselves. Brad did. He still does. Heâs human. But he refuses to let that doubt ever consume him again and instead pushes everyday to be stronger, better, and to do what he loves. And in doing so, he inspires us all to do the same.

Brad had times of struggle, but he always had a support group and he always followed his heart. It is admirable. Encouraging. Strengthening.
