Carole Landis: A Tragic Life In Hollywood ReviewThis is without a doubt the definitive biography of Carole Landis. It was the first full-length biography written about Carole and in my opinion it's the best. The author did a lot of research on Carole's life and he discovered a ton of new information (like who Carole's father really was). There are many wonderful photos and some one-of-a-kind World War 2 candids you won't see anywhere else. I have been a fan of Carole for years and was shocked at how much I learned about her. By the end you will know the name of every man she dated, every address she ever lived at, her complete medical history, and even her favorite books. You will get to see all the different sides of Carole Landis - the star, the patriot, the feminist, the daughter, the friend, the seductress, and the victim. You get an in depth look at her romances with Busby Berkeley, Jacqueline Susann, and her four husbands. After reading it you will understand Carole's casual attitude towards sex and why she was plagued by vicious rumors throughout her career. I was very happy that several chapters were devoted to Carole's tireless efforts during World War 2. We are also finally given a detailed account of Carole's final hours and the events that took place after her death. The author is not afraid to put the blame for Carole's death on her lover Rex Harrison (it wasn't murder but the way he treated Carole led her to take her own life). In fact I think the only people who won't like this book are Rex Harrison fans. Carole is portrayed in a very sympathetic light but the author also makes her take responsible for many of the bad decisions her life (rushing into marriages, turning down good film roles). You will like Carole, you will want her to succeed, and you will be heartbroken by the way her story ends. I think the title of this book says it all - her life was truly tragic. The focus here is mainly on Carole's turbulent private life but you also get a good look at her career and her important films roles. There are a lot of juicy behind the scenes stories about the making of One Million BC and Moon Over Miami. At the end of the book you will find a complete filmography with notes. Of course this book is not perfect - there are some caption errors and I found it to be too critical of Carole's mother. Overall this is a wonderful biography about an unforgettable Hollywood icon and you will not be disappointed if you read it. Fans of Carole will fall in love her all over again and if you are just discovering Carole you will become her biggest fan. I hope that a movie producer read this book and decides to turn Carole's tragic story into a movie.
I also recommend EJ Fleming's book The Fixers: Eddie Mannix, Howard Strickling and the MGM Publicity Machine which has a chapter about Carole and was the beginning of his research for this book.Carole Landis: A Tragic Life In Hollywood Overview
